[PC-BSD Testing] More on USB not working

[Ken Moore]

Ok, it looks like the two thumb drives should work if you update the 
pc-mounttray to the latest version in SVN (I patched it yesterday and 
posted instructions on the forums here[1]).

I do see a problem with the output for the card reader at the moment 
that I will need to account for.
Is the device that needs to actually be mounted the "/dev/da3s1" that 
you posted about, or are there additional devices for each partition on 
it (/dev/da3s1[a,b,c,d])?

Thanks!
