Hi,
My USB-stick (trekstore, identifies as "USB DISK SMI Corporation") is
sliced using sade(8), labelled using bsdlabel, accessible using "mount
/dev/da0s1a /mnt/usb", it has kernel and world, but doesn't boot.
The kernel has the following USB modules:
# USB core support
device usb2_core
#
# USB controller support
device usb2_controller
device usb2_controller_ehci
device usb2_controller_ohci
device usb2_controller_uhci
#
# USB mass storage support
device usb2_storage
device usb2_storage_mass
#
# USB input device support
device usb2_input
device usb2_input_hid
device usb2_input_kbd
device usb2_input_ms
but it also has:
# <URL:#USB support> some SCSI/USB support needed for system-on-schtick
#
nodevice uhci # UHCI PCI->USB interface
nodevice ohci # OHCI PCI->USB interface
nodevice ehci # EHCI PCI->USB interface (USB 2.0)
nodevice usb # USB Bus (required)
#
# <URL:#SCSI peripherals> some SCSI/USB support needed for system-on-schtick
nodevice udbp # USB Double Bulk Pipe devices
nodevice ugen # Generic
nodevice umass # usb-disks, readers
nodevice uhid # "Human Interface Devices"
nodevice ukbd # Keyboard
nodevice ulpt # Printer
nodevice ums # Mouse
nodevice ural # Ralink Technology RT2500USB wireless NICs
nodevice rum # Ralink Technology RT2501USB wireless NICs
nodevice zyd # ZyDAS zb1211/zb1211b wireless NICs
nodevice urio # Diamond Rio 500 MP3 player
nodevice uscanner # Scanners
When booting, the bootcode wants me to manually type in the root device
to mount from and suggests the default in etc/fstab, but when I type
"ufs:/dev/da0s1a", it won't sing. When I type "?", the USB-stick is
_not_ among the devices "managed by GEOM". Re. GEOM, I only have:
nooptions GEOM_LABEL # Provides labelization
in the kernel config.
I want it to boot, what should I do?
