Kudos to the GNOME FreeBSD team for continuing
improvements.
Problem: Hal no longer recognizes all vfat partitions.
Two vfat partitions at ad0s1 and ad1s2 exist. Only
ad0s1 now appears.
CD burning now proceeds better via Nautilus. Before
portsnap / portmaster that failed altogether. Now CD-R
burning succeeds, whilst CD-RW burning can still hang
the machine altogether. Gnomebaker, however, has
worked consistently.
Once burned, if not ejected, the CD is not recognized
any more in the burning drive and in the auxiliary
drive. Mac OS X can, however, recognize the CD.
Indeed after burning a CD and closing the dialog
(without ejecting) no CD or DVD of any kind was
recognized any more, nor was any console error output
generated. The devices simply ceased to communicate.

System changes: Custom kernel compiled to include
ATAPICAM, sound and VESA; unused NIC's commented out.
Generally retain options from GENERIC.
System has not been updated from the releace CD's.
Only the ports tree has changed (via portsnap).
This dmesg was obtained after recovering from a total
locup following an attempt to write to a CD-RW. I then
burned a CD-R successfully and then lost all mounting
ability.
