I figured it out after I connected the Ipod to a windows system, where
it previously had worked. The same nothingness. So it had to be the
Ipod, not FreeBSD.
A reset on the Ipod solved the problem. The reset is done by
simultaneously pressing the menu and the select (the middle) button and
holding them for a few seconds. The same technique also saved me when
the Ipod hung completely one time.
