I'd say your best bet would be to use the latest version of FreeBSD
(4.8-RELEASE) or FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE, as 4.3 is from ~2000 and does not
support alot of "nextgen" hardware. Try that, and then come back to the list
if that doesn't fix your problem.

Subject: mount USB storage device
Dear FreeBSD hackers,
Though I just started to learn and use FreeBSD less than one year, I started
to love it's powers and stability.
However, I have one question need your help here if you get time and willing
to have me.
I bought a USB memory chip (64 Mb capacity). It works fine in any windows
PC. But I tried to mount it in my FreeBSD4.3 box.
I read some tips from the internet that some people use the following
command to mount it as
mkdir /mnt/usb
mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb
So I tried this way. First, I insert my memory chip into a USB port on
FreeBSD4.3 box.
The dmesg.boot shows :
umassQ: USB Solid State Disk rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2
da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0
da0:<DIANMA STORAGE KING\242\362.11>
Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 Device
da0: 650kb/s transfers
da0:63MB (129024 512bye sectors 64H32S/T63C)
Then I tried to mount it as
mkdir /mnt/usb
mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb
But the console shows:
da0:( umass-sim0:0:0:0):READ(06),cbd:800010
da0:( umass-sim0:0:0:0):ILLEGAL REQUEST ASC:20,0
da0:( umass-sim0:0:0:0):Invalid command operation code
da0:reading primary partition table:error reading fsbn0
msdos: /dev/da0s1: input/output error
So it seems the mounting is not successful. So I tried this way:
mount /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb
This time the console shows:
da0:reading primary partition table:error reading fsbn0
msdos: /dev/da0s1: input/output error
I know there must some thing wrong with my mounting command, but I do not
know what it is. I understand you people are real FreeBSD gurus, but not
sure you have time to help in such trivel thing. Still, I hold my breath to
waiting for your reply.
Best regards to FreeBSD Development
