USB Hard Drive Dock

[Bill Tillman]

I just purchased a setup which will allow me to access IDE and/or SATA drives through a USB port. Of course I was hoping for it to work with FreeBSD and in spite of the reviews which said it needed no Windows drivers as soon as I opened it up there was a CD with the drivers for Windows on it.
 
When I hook this thing up to my FreeBSD server it shows up like this:

So apparently the FreeBSD server senses when this thing is connected but it cannot see the drive connected to it. BTW - The FreeBSD server only reports anything when I power up the drive on the device. So again I see there might be hope to access it.
 
Of course I cannot mount anything as /dev/da0s1...etc are not there, only /dev/da0. The drive I'm attempting to mount was the main drive in another FreeBSD server I had working. The drive is ok and I can mount it using other methods. But this hot-swap USB method has some advantaged I'd like to use.
