hi all,
I have an external hard disk I want to access via
firewire. I have a Lucent chipset based PCI firewire
card. Using FreeBSD 5.2.1 (x86). I do not have dmesg
output at the moment, but I can see messages like
firewire0:...
How can I verify where a device entry (under /dev) has
been created? How do I mount the device? Sorry if this
is a newbie Q, but I have not found documentation for
this.
How can I do this under USB? man camcontrol says,
"...newbies should stay away from this..."
Thanks in advance..
Tk.
