Yep, I understand that. The 'drive' has already been formatted to fat32. That happened when I installed the iPod software to a Windows PC and connected iPod to it. Meanwhile, back at my FreeBSD machine, I booted up with a Knoppix 3.7 CD and could mount the iPod successfully as /dev/sda2 and see some directories on it (/Calendar, /Notes and whatnot). I'm now upgrading my FreeBSD to today's 5-STABLE, and if that won't help I'll put in an add-on PCI card with USB2 ports. Upgrading the BIOS of my ASUS P3B-F motherboard to latest non-beta version (1006) didn't seem to have any effect on this issue. > Read over the info at the ipod linux site.
