Nope. I had to mount:

/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1

(or /dev/sda1 which is a symlink to the above)

The file didn't appear until I loaded the sd_disk module. I guess the
documentation with the drive assumed that I had the SCSI disk module
compiled into the kernel. Hmm, perhaps I should give a talk about devfs,
/dev and /proc at a meeting sometime --- what does the meeting committie
think?

In any case, it's all working fine now, and I've put some of my favourite
tracks on it, and was listening to it until I realised that it was dumb
sitting here listening to music through headphones. So I turned my stereo
on. In any case, I think $200 for a 64MB MP3 player that's supported under
Linux is pretty good.

Cheers for the compliment...and while it might be true about some aspects
of Linux, there are other aspects of Linux that other people on this list
(you included Nick:) know far more about than me.
