Hi all,
I'm not quite sure how to mount an iPod mini on a x86 machine under 5.4
Stable, to use with gtkpod.
I installed gtkpod, then connected the iPod through firewire. But I'm 
not sure how to adjust my fstab file to make the iPod mount when connected.
My fstab currently is :
# Device	Mountpoint	FStype	Options		Dump	Pass#
/dev/ad0s3b	none		swap	sw		0	0
/dev/ad0s3a	/		ufs	rw		1	1
/dev/acd0	/cdrom		cd9660	ro,noauto	0	0

The iPod uses an HFS+ file system. It's been loaded from a Mac.
I would like to mount it to /mnt/ipod

I'm not sure if this is helpful :
# ls /sbin/mount_*
/sbin/mount_cd9660      /sbin/mount_msdosfs     /sbin/mount_std
/sbin/mount_devfs       /sbin/mount_nfs         /sbin/mount_udf
/sbin/mount_ext2fs      /sbin/mount_nfs4        /sbin/mount_umapfs
/sbin/mount_fdescfs     /sbin/mount_ntfs        /sbin/mount_unionfs
/sbin/mount_linprocfs   /sbin/mount_nullfs
/sbin/mount_mfs         /sbin/mount_procfs

Thanks all,
Edward
