If not, then its firmware is lame and you should get a new camera :0 Otherwise, the only other theoretical things I can think of is if you have a PCMCIA CF reader (which makes the CF card "appear" like an adN disk) or a USB CF reader (making it appear as a daN disk), you could use the newfs_msdos command on the proper device node. man newfs_msdos In the case that you have a supported USB CF reader and your CF card was "seen" as da0, you'd do: newfs_msdos /dev/da0s1 Note: I have -NOT- tried this. It is only theory. It may do evil things like hunt down and destroy your family, throw eggs at your car, or render your CF card unusable. Then again, maybe it would work. YMMV. -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds WCCG, CCE, (space for rent, cheap!) | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 602-868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
