Be aware that the iPod has some freaky partitioning going on. Even if you format the 'drive' as fat32, there's still a partition there you're not seeing.
Yep, I understand that. The 'drive' has already been formatted to fat32. That happened when I installed the iPod software to a Windows PC and connected iPod to it.
Meanwhile, back at my FreeBSD machine, I booted up with a Knoppix 3.7 CD and could mount the iPod successfully as /dev/sda2 and see some directories on it (/Calendar, /Notes and whatnot). I'm now upgrading my FreeBSD to today's 5-STABLE, and if that won't help I'll put in an add-on PCI card with USB2 ports.
Upgrading the BIOS of my ASUS P3B-F motherboard to latest non-beta version (1006) didn't seem to have any effect on this issue.
Read over the info at the ipod linux site. That should clear things up for you. :)
I've been reading all those sites for past couple of days. It just seems that things that work for other people for some reason don't work for me :)
