USB Flash Drive.
I'm using Free BSD 4.9 on a P III Compq. I have a [EMAIL PROTECTED] Key USB 64MB Flash drive. The flash drive is plugged in a USB port when I boot and dmesg shows some reasonably encouraging indications that it recognizes the device. It seems to be associating it with umass0. Part of the dmseg reads uhci0: Intel 82801BA/BAM (ICH2) USB controller USB-B port 0x2440-0x245f irq 5 at device 31.4 on pci0 usb0: Intel 82801BA/BAM (ICH2) USB controller USB-B on uhci0 usb0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0: Intel UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered umass0: Luwen EasyDisc, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2 My question - To what device do I mount? I can't find umass0 isn't in my /dev and all the other references that are there don't work - mount -t msdos /dev/? /walkkey. Further - how does BSD figure out when this type of hot-pluggable device is being used? I've a CD burner and camera that I will eventually want to use. I couldn't find a topic in the handbook that addressed USB mass storage.did I miss something?

It probably says as much in the license somwhere.open source and all that. I bought a 4.9 box set online and have it installed on 4 computers already.

4.x Installation failure - White Stripes on initial boot.
Computer: SpaceWalker-Pentium III.800mHz, 256MB, 20GB hd running FreeBSD 4.8 as the only operating system. Goal: Non graphical work stattion - possible Samba server. After an minimal installation the system freezes shortly after passing the boot manager and the monitor shows several long, white vertical stripes that resemble bar codes. The system is unresponsive and has to be forced to cold boot. I was trying to install 4.8 or 4.9 but multiple reloads all produce the same result. Before it was a Win2000 box I had FreeBSD 4.4 on it briefly but I don't have those disks anymore. It's as if BSD has some major problem with the hardware, but everything 'installs' without complaint. SuSe Linux was just loaded and it seems to be happy. I do have output from its dmesg in hopes that there is some detailed info about the hardware there. Any ideas about where to start? Thanks. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The system is unresponsive and has to be forced to cold boot. Does this also happen when you boot to single user mode? If it does, then I'm not sure what's wrong - sounds like some hardware incompatibility. Maybe someone can tell after seeing the dmesg. If it doesn't then I'm curious exactly what kind of install did you do? What distributions did you choose to install? It may be worth to install only the bare minimum at first and later add everything else via ports/packages - that's what I usually do. -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Money is the root of all evil. For more info send $39 I tried installing the MINIMAL installation with 4.9 and 4.8. The thing dies so quickly- shortly afterh the boot manager completes - I don't get a boot option as with my other FreeBSD computers. My only hope in figuring this our via dmesg is through a trial installation I did with SuSe Linux...which works fine.
