HTC Wildfire freebsd

This post describes how to mount htc wildfire flash disk on FreeBSD.
Actually it is not especially trick for HTC Wildfire and solution will be the same for mounting another flash disks which are not mounting automatically.
Take a look at dmesg:
howtobsd# dmesg -a | tail
.....
da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus0 target 0 lun 0
da0: Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device
da0: 40.000MB/s transfers
da0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present

make next command to find out name of partition of our device (I hope you will try to mount in exist directory ):
howtobsd#mount /dev/da0 /mnt/flash
mount: /dev/da0 : Invalid argument

Ignore this message and looking at /dev directory – there should appear new device:
howtobsd#ls -l /dev/da*
crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 143 16 окт 17:57 /dev/da0
crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 144 16 окт 18:29 /dev/da0s1

And now we are ready to mount it:

mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/flash/

Done.
