        Are you using a full install of 1.2.3 or nanobsd?

        2.0 should have the same (and more) drivers as 1.2.3.

          i use nanobsd (hp t5520 - no hdd). nanobsd 1.2.3 work good, 2.0 no boot :(

          2.0 should have the same (and more) drivers as 1.2.3.

          But doesn't work 2.0 :(

            Can you post the full boot log from 1.2.3 and 2.0?

            That would help us figure it out.

                Some time ago I bought a number of USB adapters for note book drives. Some worked with FreeBSD and some didn't. I discovered in the FreeBSD sources there was a table for USB devices with "quirks" and code work arounds for the quirks. The devices that worked used a different chip than the devices that didn't and there was no "quirk" entry for either device.

                Speculation: You may have a quirky USB device that FreeBSD 8.0 doesn't know about. (A simple editing error might have meant the knowledge of this quirk in previous versions of FreeBSD was lost to FreeBSD 8.0. If I recall correctly, the USB stack was reworked in FreeBSD 8.0.)

                Suggestion: See if you can read the whole USB drive on a FreeBSD 8.0 system by the shell command (or some suitable variant):```

                dd if=/dev/da1 of=/dev/null

                
Alternatively you could try using a device from a better known supplier such as SanDisk or Kingston or … though I don't know this would guarantee you would have a compatible device.

                    Version 2.0 has earned!
                    Through usb hub, on a straight line to t5520 (http://www.computerland.kiev.ua/uploads/imgs/58734.jpg) does not wish to work.
                    As occurs and with 3G modem.
                    In version 2.0 all works only through usb hub.
