it doesn't want to play nice with USB drives.
Ok: I finally found the problem: my test disks all were a portable
ones -powered from the USB bus-.
Cause that's what I had around the house.
I know the USB port needs to deliver enough juice to make it work, and
I had taken that into

You can probably boot an install CD and go to the shell.
Assuming you can then see sd* at umass (which is fairly likely),
you should be able to mount/newfs as necessary, and copy the
data from the ami (pax/tar/cp/dd are available).
Or if you have another system running that you can save a
backup
That would void the warranties on the external disks I'm afraid.
Is there no way to get this working in a stock 3.9 ?
And would it work in 4.6 ?
