    Hi,

    This might sound strange, but I like to use flash cards for archival
    back up (especially the CF format variety). I would like to hook this
    up via FireWire and/or USB2.0.

    I was curious in how well FreeBSD supports plug 'n play devices like
    this. Can I plug it in and get it to auto-magically mount. If not, is
    it easy to mount these through mount commands, or do I have to configure
    something more?

       - jm
