 I applied the patch, rebuilt the kernel, and rebooted with the new kernel.  As Mr. Woodford predicted, the patch resolved the geometry and hanging issues.  Stll, I can't mount the iPod.
 
 Here's what dmesg said when I plugged in the iPod:
 
 umass1 at uhub4 port 6 configuration 1 interface 0
 umass1: Apple iPod, rev 2.00/0.02, addr 3
 umass1: using SCSI over Bulk-Only
 scsibus1 at umass1: 2 targets, 1 lun per target
 sd4 at scsibus1 target 0 lun 0: <Apple, iPod, 1.62> disk removable
 sd4: fabricating a geometry
 sd4: 28615 MB, 7153 cyl, 64 head, 32 sec, 2048 bytes/sect x 14651280 sectors
 
 Let me tell you, that was exciting to see!
 
 Disklabel said this:
 
 talmage@macdonell% sudo disklabel sd4
 disklabel: Can't read master boot record 0: Invalid argument
 # /dev/rsd4d:

 disklabel: boot block size 0
 disklabel: super block size 0
 disklabel: partition d: partition extends past end of unit
 
 Attempting to read the disklabel from the iPod, I got this:
 
 talmage@macdonell% sudo disklabel -r sd4
 disklabel: Can't read master boot record 0: Invalid argument
 disklabel: no disklabel
 
 
 Still, I can't mount the iPod.
 
 talmage@macdonell% sudo mount -t msdos /dev/sd4f /mnt/hd
 mount_msdos: /dev/sd4f on /mnt/hd: Invalid argument
