using automounter (automatically mounting USB drives)

[Eitan Adler]

How can I automatically mount USB drives when I plug them in?
I found a program sysutils/automounter which appears to create a link
/media/msdosfs/USB20FD but doesn't actually mount anything.

I don't know sysutils/automounter, but the

COMMENT= Provides scripts to dynamically configure amd

would means that it only prepare the devices entries to be used by the
amd(8) daemon (amd — automatically mount file systems)

Take a look at the amd(8) manpage (I can't help you I never used it)
and the rc.conf(5) to enable it.

To enable it at system startup, you must add the following line to /etc/rc.conf :
automounter_enable="YES"

automounter_enable="YES"

Which I have already done. However this only causes the labels in
/media to appear to disappear. It does not seem like it actually
mounts anything.
