Yeah.  That's definitely where I'd start from.  I think the main obstacle
for any *BSD system in the ease-of-use department will be the
must-mount-as-root issue.  I don't know what's involved in getting that to
work properly.  Maybe the best solution is to have some sort of automount
daemon.  That would more than likely work for devices with media detection
(Mac floppys come to mind... :) The devil's in the details...
