Default digikam and ricoh r5 camera

Can anyone help me connecting a Ricoh camera in FreeBSD ?

Using digikam, selecting the camera from the set-up list, I get
Code:
Failed to connect to the camera. Please make sure it is connected properly and turned on
Trying as USB mass storage, nothing happens.

The camera settings are appropriate to both cases.

So, I try
Code:
dmesg | grep umass
which tells me
Code:
umass1: Ricoh Company Ltd. .... addr 3
da2 at umass-sim1 bus 1 targt 0 lun 0
so I try to mount it msdosfs on da2s1, and my computer freezes up - cue a lengthy, single-user fsck.

Putting
Code:
umass_enable="YES"
into /boot/loader.conf seemed to have no effect whatsoever. I guess it's something to do with the camera's filesystem, but FreeBSD ain't having it.

Any ideas appreciated.

I had the freeze problem once, thought it might've been from running hald (I was in a ttyv, while kde3 was running on another).


I've never had that problem since I started plugging my camera in before I start the computer, then powering on the camera when I'm ready to mount it.

Thanks TerryP and anomie,

The trouble is, the dear little Ricoh powers up automatically when it's plugged in.

I think that's the way I'm going.

And I thought my Nikons switching from USB MSC to the regular camera mode, if it takes to long to get around to mounting it was annoying :\
