Greeting-
I am just getting back to working with arm stuff after being taken away
from it for a while by life events.
I just installed current using crochet (Thanks Tim) and was pleased to
see that USB is now working on the BeagleBone. Great job guys!
I have a 30GB usb stick in my BB and I sliced up the disk with gpart
and in so doing labeled the two partitions as gpswap and bbd0. I
expected to see those names under /dev/gpt, but no joy. There is not
even a /dev/gpt. In fact I find neither name anywhere under /dev.
This leads to the question of the hour.......what did I do wrong?
I can of course address the partations as /dev/da0p1 and /dev/da0p2,
but I much prefer to do things with labels if possible.
-Brett
