HI I am a total newbie to all things related to USB2 and Firewire. I have a 10GB external hard disk formatted in FAT32. It is the only single partition. FreeBSD 5.2.1, P3-866Mhz, 256 MB RAM. Use a PCI Firewire card. DMesg recognizes this as LUCENT FW 322/323. I have the foll in my kernel config file: device firewire device sbp device umass device da device pass device scbus SHOULD I add device fwohci? This is not recognised by /usr/sbin/config. 1. I am able to do camcontrol start da0. 2. mount_msdosfs /dev/da0 /bck fails with "incorrect superblock on da0" or something like that. Q: Since I am new, what are the steps to be able to mount and use this HDD? Any help will be appreciated. I really need to get this to work. Thanks Tk ____________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Messenger - Communicate instantly..."Ping" your friends today!
