So what is it I must !re-configure? In your kernel config: device usb device uhci (or ohci, depending on the hardware) device umass Then, when you plug the USB device in, look for /dev/da?, which should "just" appear. If you're not seeing the "slice/partition" devices files (e.g., da0s1), you probably also need to "camcontrol rescan <scsi_bus_number>", followed by "true > /dev/da0", depending on the actual USB device. Find the scsi_bus_number from "camcontrol devlist -v". Then take a look at what devd(8) can do for you when you attach the odd USB device... HTH --Gary -- Dr Gary E RAFE: drgerlists at gmail dot com
