I think it's called sd0 because it attaches to usb through some
scsi-emulation/high-level api like this: usb device -> usb hub (uhub0)  
-> usb mass storage (umass0) -> scsi emulation layer (scsibus0) -> logical
device (sd0). Dunno why they did it that way, on rather thin ice here.

Well current in my case is current as in current :-) (development 
sources).

1.6 should be right around the corner, I believe official release is due
later this month. Check out the web-pages for details, I believe 1.6 is
currently only available as beta, unless you want to compile it yourself.
