Works for me (both on fixed and removable media). FWIW, if you encounter any 
issues with HAL which are reproducable without the media:/ kioslave, contact 
the HAL port maintainers (gnome at freebsd.org) directly (cc'ing KDE is okay).

The sysutils/hal-device-manager port is quite handy for 'getting a second, 
non-KDE opinion' about what HAL detects on your system, including volumes, 
and it is much less hard to read than the commandline utilities provided by 
the hal port itself.
