How to mount a USB disk on FreeBSD

You can see your da-devices by

# <kbd>ls /dev/da*</kbd>

If you see e.g. /dev/da0s1 listed, try mounting with

# <kbd>mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /media/usb</kbd>

If you have set up sudo correctly you can do it as an ordinary user

% <kbd>sudo mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /media/usb</kbd>

In my case, this worked:

mkdir /media/usb
mount_msdosfs /dev/da1p2 /media/usb
