here's mine:

umass0 at uhub1 port 3 configuration 1 interface 0
umass0: Iomega USB Zip 250, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 4
umass0: using SCSI over BBB-P
scsibus0 at umass0: 2 targets, 1 luns per target
scsibus0: waiting 2 seconds for devices to settle...
sd0 at scsibus0 target 1 lun 0: <IOMEGA, ZIP 250, 32.G> SCSI0 0/direct removable
sd0: 98304 KB, 96 cyl, 64 head, 32 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 196608 sectors

you can find out which partition to mount using disklabel:

# disklabel sd0
# /dev/rsd0d:
type: SCSI
disk: ZIP 250
label: fictitious
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 32
tracks/cylinder: 64
sectors/cylinder: 2048
cylinders: 96
total sectors: 196608
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0           # microseconds
track-to-track seek: 0  # microseconds
drivedata: 0

8 partitions:
#        size   offset     fstype   [fsize bsize   cpg]
  d:   196608        0     unused        0     0         # (Cyl.    0 - 95)
  e:   196544       64      MSDOS                        # (Cyl.    0*- 95)

and then mount:

mount_msdos -o rw,nodev,nosuid,noexec -u jasper -l /dev/sd0e /zip

# df -k | grep sd
/dev/sd0e                            96744    23952    72791    24%    /zip

It's only got a 100Mb disk in at the moment.

'eject sd0' works too ;-)
