Hello list,

How do I mount a USB external drive? I know how to mount other devices but
I don't know how to mount a USB device.

I have an iPod that I have been using as an external backup drive for my
PC and MAC. I was wondering how I would mount the iPod on my FreeBSD
system so I can move my TLS certificates off of it on to my production
mail server.

I would be using USB 2.0 and it is the only USB device. I believe the iPod
has two slices. One slice for the iPod OS and one slice for my data. I
have a custom kernel with OHCI and UHCI USB controllers compiled in as
well as the md, da, and sa drivers compiled in. If I missed anything in
the compile I can recompile the kernel tonight.

Thanks for any advice in advance.

Hi Joshua,

There are a few kernel devices required for USB drives.

device          umass         # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da
device          pass            # Passthrough device (direct SCSI access)
device          ehci             # usb2 'hi=speed' support
**
ehci is optional, otherwise you will get 12Mbps 'full speed' mode
