    How do you mount a USB flash memory stick into a FreeBSD system. I am using
    FreeBSD 4.9

    I know how to do this in Linux, but the Linux way doesn't seem to be the BSD
    way.

    I inserted the stick and got told that it was da1. What I did was to edit
    /etc/fstab and make this entry:-

    /dev/da1 /mnt msdos noauto,user,umask=0 0 0

    that didn't work. I got some error about Inappropriate file type or format.
    Changed filetype to vfat and that didn't work either like it does in Linux.

    So what is the filetype I should use?
