i just bought a laptop with "no OS" and i had a friend help
me set up freeBSD 6.0.  i am in an MSCS program but it
is my second masters i got a MS in physiology and biophysics.
i am telling everybody this because i _did_ get a degree
in BSCS in 1989.. my favorite phrase is that my BSCS
is "long long ago, in a galaxy far far away."

i got a cert in "Open-UNIX" but this is the first time
i have had my very own UNIX system.  i have been a unix
user since 1985 i am very fond of vi, but i apparently
am seriously lacking in "elementary" administrative
hardware tasks in UNIX systems.

i just felt the need to give that small amount of background,
just to warm everybody.  i might need specific commands
i can type in.

anyway.  i _did_ figure out sysinstall well enought to
create a second partition with freeBSD 5.4 because i
had been unable to install middleware, my friend helped
me install more X stuff there etc.

i am being way too longwinded.. i am sorry..i can't help
it.  the background seems necessary.

basically.. i can't see my SD card that came with the
puter. my camera died but the two SD cards with my
latest fotos on it should be able to be read by freeBSD,
in that they fit nicely into my hardware.


here is the result of the command "usbdevs"

Path: /home/kayve   <~~~~~~ .login i have uses a two line prompt.. this
                               is line one
(root@www) 103> usbdevs  <~~~~~second line of prompt and the command

addr 1: UHCI root hub, Intel  <~~~~~~~~output starts here
addr 1: UHCI root hub, Intel
 addr 2: Resolution 400/600/800 Changeable Combo Mouse, ACROX
addr 1: UHCI root hub, Intel
addr 1: EHCI root hub, Intel

<---end of output----->


next i was told to do the command "pciconf -l -v"
and i did, and selected out "class = mass storage"

i did thatmanually, here is the result


atapci0@pci0:31:1:      class=0x01018a card=0x18691043 chip=0x24ca8086
rev=0x03
hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Intel Corporation'
    device   = '82801DBM (ICH4-M) UltraATA/100 EIDE Controller'
    class    = mass storage
    subclass = ATA
none0@pci0:31:5:        class=0x040100 card=0x17131043 chip=0x24c58086
rev=0x03
hdr=0x00

i was told i am hosed.
