I am always happy to help. I am a real newbie to FBSD
I have been using it for about 6 months. In the early
80's I used cli on Unix V when I worked for the Death
Star company. I was then forced to migrate to Dos and
then to Windows because all the clients needed any

Hopefully this is a simple question. FreeBSD does not support my
Olympus C-3000 Zoom camera so I bought a card reader (usb). It has
4 slots and when I boot or just plug it in I get 4 drives
(da0, da1, da2, & da3). If I have a SmartMedia card installed I
also see da2s1.
da2s1 mounts fine

Hi Robert,

I have some additional information regarding this problem.
I was reading some of the man pages for the ump-teenth time and
I thought I would try something with fdisk.

Okay, that works. I dropped out of gnome and logged
ina s root. I deleted all the append data in rc.conf
and I deleted /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rc.local.

I am very happy I was able to help.
One question for you before I answer yours. I still
have to kill dhclient and netstart after a reboot.
Did you imply that after wiping out the hostname in
rc.conf you can reboot and your dhcp is up?
Now for your question. I have not had any proble
I think I'll leave mine as is until I or someone
(hint, hint) comes up with the real fix. I don't
reboot this machine very often and my script file
seems to work fine.
If you are interested, here it is

#! /bin/sh
killall -9 dhclient
sh /etc/netstart
ifconfig -a
For what it's worth, I check with Project Evil and
found this bad news. Looks like a AMF-YOYO
What doesn't Project Evil do:
- Provide support for USB network devices (this would require
emulating portions of USBD.SYS and portitions of the Windows
I/O model outside of the NDIS API).
