However, I have one question need your help here if you get time and = willing to have me. I bought a USB memory chip (64 Mb capacity). It works fine in any = windows PC. But I tried to mount it in my FreeBSD4.3 box. I read some tips from the internet that some people use the following = command to mount it as mkdir /mnt/usb mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb So I tried this way. First, I insert my memory chip into a USB port on = FreeBSD4.3 box. The dmesg.boot shows : umassQ: USB Solid State Disk rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2 da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0=20 da0: Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 Device da0: 650kb/s transfers da0:63MB (129024 512bye sectors 64H32S/T63C) Then I tried to mount it as=20 mkdir /mnt/usb mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb But the console shows: da0:( umass-sim0:0:0:0):READ(06),cbd:800010 da0:( umass-sim0:0:0:0):ILLEGAL REQUEST ASC:20,0 da0:( umass-sim0:0:0:0):Invalid command operation code da0:reading primary partition table:error reading fsbn0 msdos: /dev/da0s1: input/output error So it seems the mounting is not successful. So I tried this way: mount /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb This time the console shows:=20 da0:reading primary partition table:error reading fsbn0 msdos: /dev/da0s1: input/output error I know there must some thing wrong with my mounting command, but I do = not know what it is. I understand you people are real FreeBSD gurus, but = not sure you have time to help in such trivel thing. Still, I hold my = breath to waiting for your reply.
