+
+      <para>Second step is to add the following lines to <filename>/etc/devd.conf</filename>;

+
+      <para>If autofs and devd are already running, one must reload their
+      configuration by using:</para>
+      <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>service automount reload</userinput>
+&prompt.root; <userinput>service devd reload</userinput></screen>
+
+      <para>To enable &man.autofs.5; and &man.devd.8; at boot time, add those lines to

+
+      <programlisting>autofs_enable="YES"
+devd_enable="YES"</programlisting>
+
+      <para>Then &man.autofs.5; and &man.devd.8; can be started by running:</para>

+&prompt.root; <userinput>service automountd start</userinput>
+&prompt.root; <userinput>service autounmountd start</userinput>

+
+      <para>Each file system that can be automatically mounted will appear as a directory
+      in <filename>/media</filename>, named after the filesystem label, or, if the label
+      is missing, after the device node.  It will be transparently mounted on first access,
+      and unmounted after some period of inactivity.  Automounted drives can also be unmounted
+      by hand by using:</para>
+      <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>automount -fu</userinput></screen>
+
+     <para>This mechanism works for any block devices - not just USB sticks, but also
+     optical drives or iSCSI LUNs.</para>
