This is easily doable. I do it at home right now. If you get an Sandisk
Imagemate there are some issues with which model (some of which *look*
identical). Search the archives for "SDDR" and you'll find the threads.
I added this to my kernel config:
# needed for USB mass storage device.
device scbus # SCSI bus (required)
device da # Direct Access (disks)
# USB support
device uhci # UHCI PCI->USB interface
device ohci # OHCI PCI->USB interface
device usb # USB Bus (required)
device ugen # Generic
device uhid # "Human Interface Devices"
device ukbd # Keyboard
device ulpt # Printer
device umass # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da
device ums # Mouse
device uscanner # Scanners
Then enabled usb in /etc/rc.conf. My /etc/usbd.conf looks like this. I
have the SDDR-31 (I think, I'm not at home right now).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
device "ImageMate SanDisk"
product 0x0002
vendor 0x0781
release 0x0009
class 0x0000
subclass 0x0000
protocol 0x0000
devname "umass0"
# The fallthrough entry: Nothing is specified, nothing is done. And it isn't
# necessary at all :-). Just for pretty printing in debugging mode.
#
device "USB device"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
and an entry in /etc/fstab like this:
/dev/da0s1 /sandisk msdos rw,noauto 0 0
Works great for me.
