We get posts from people with a wide spectrum of abilities, so I have to
assume anything left out of a problem description wasn't tried.

Mac OS X is only loosely based on FreeBSD; don't let the marketing fool

Maybe somebody reading our lists has had the same issue, and if anybody
did, they'd likely be more than willing to let you know (perhaps
off-list).  The point is that the issue isn't one involving a Fink package.

We're not the clearance house for general OS X-related issues.

Or perhaps one of the forums related to general OS X issues.

Your error looks to me like your keydrive is using a file system that
isn't supported by OS X, but I'm not completely sure about that.
