Hello, I've been a Sun UNIX admin for around MANY years, but I'm a relative 
newbie to OpenSolaris. I'm running Solaris Express Developer Edition 1/08 
(snv_79a) and I'd like to be able to transfer data from my Windows box to my 
new OpenSolaris file server via USB hard disk. (Ethernet is S-L-O-W.)

I've got a 250GB USB hard drive with a FAT32 file system which I've filled up 
with files from Windows XP. I want to mount this disk on my OpenSolaris server 
so I can copy all the files off. How do I do this?

I plugged in the USB hard drive and this is what I see:
# cfgadm -vl
Ap_Id                          Receptacle   Occupant     Condition  Information

So, it looks like the OS sees something at usb2/3, but nothing mounts up 
automatically. I tried this:
#svcadm restart rmvolmgr

But still, nothing shows up with a 'df'.

I don't know how to translate usb2/3 into a disk device name.

I understand there has been a huge amount of change to the USB and volume 
manager systems between Solaris and OpenSolaris, and I don't know where to 
start. Is there an OpenSolaris USB mass storage tutorial for newbies? I'm sure 
that's what I need! ;-)
