Assistance welcome, James. I finally gave up trying to mount the iPod
as an HFS+ device and reformated it in FAT32. Now I can mount it and
access its content (I use mount -t msdos /dev/da0s2 /mnt/ipod).
However, I can unmount it using umount /mnt/ipod, but I'm not quite
sure how to get it to understand its not connected anymore. I wouldn't
mind taking a look at the scripts you mentionned early on.
"The camcontrol utility can cause a loss of data and/or system crashes
if used improperly. Even expert users are encouraged to exercise
caution when using this command. Novice users should stay away from
this utility" says the man page. With such an invitation, I can't wait
to get my hands into this one :).
Thanks,
Edward

A quick Google suggests you can try
http://people.freebsd.org/~yar/hfs/ to add HFS support to FreeBSD,
otherwise you're going to have to reformat your iPod for Windows and
then mount it as FAT.
I then added this line:
/dev/da0s2 /ipod msdos rw,noauto
0 0
to my fstab, and wrote myself a little ipod script I can use to mount
and umount/eject it.
To mount it it just mounts /ipod, and to eject it, i umounts /ipod and
then calls camcontrol eject on the right device ID to eject it (so the
iPod stops thinking it's connected).
I can offer further assistance with the 2nd half but not the 1st half
of this :)

Edward,
You can use camcontrol to reset the device, which will make it think
that it has been removed, ie the little checkmark will show up on the
screen and the hard disk will spin down. See man camcontrol for details.
