Is there a way to setup FreeBSD so that 'mount points are transient' like linux. I find the the USB stack under debian based systems much more stable.

For instance if you mount a USB under FreeBSD and remove it without unmounting, then reinsert the USB flash drive, FreeBSD hangs. If I do the same under debian it's fine. I really like FreeBSD for it's package system, security and stability, but it is annoying if you forget to unmount and it hangs your machine. I know that you should always unmount but if you don't it shouldn't crash the system, is there anyway to fix this?
