Have a look at my FreeBSD page. There might be some helpfull hints
there: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/freebsd/
Some highlights:
- to mount filesystems as a normal user, the sysctl variable
vfs.usermount must be set to 1. (you are logged in as a normal user, right?)
- when mounting filesystems, you must be the owner of the mountpoint.
- you need read and write persmissions on the devices where the
filesystems reside. (see devfs.conf and devfs.rules)
Hope this helps,
Roland
