Hi
Maybe my brain is sleeping. But I can't find a solution to why my externally
connected disk with a FAT partition wont show up in OpenBSD. A simple USB
memory stick seems to work and the FAT partition on the stick show up as
"sd1i" and can easily be mounted...
I have attached an externa USB Sarotech disk storage with a 250 GB SATA disk
inside to my OpenBSD 3.8. It show up as the following in dmesg:
sd1 at scsibus3 targ 1 lun 0: <Maxtor 7, Y250M0, YAR5> SCSI0 0/direct fixed
sd1: 238418MB, 238418 cyl, 64 head, 32 sec, 512 bytes/sec, 488281250 sec total
I have created partitions as follows:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~#fdisk -e sd1
fdisk: sysctl(machdep.bios.diskinfo): Device not configured
Enter 'help' for information
fdisk: 1> p
Disk: sd1 geometry: 238418/64/32 [488281250 Sectors]

3: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0: 0 ] unused
I have formatted sd1a and mounted it sucessfully as a 210GB std 4.2BSD partion
on /mnt/TEST. I have also moved the external disk to a Windows XP machine
which can use the 27GB FAT32L partion that is left. However... A "disklabel
sd1" wont show anything about my FAT partition at all. I can see that the
space is there (subtraction of "a" from "c"). But that is all.

ok ok my brain is sleeping. But I don't see where the problem is...
Do I have to add this FAT partition manually according to section 14.16.1 of
the FAQ? Or what?
Thanks in advance
