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
