(Bishop Liutprand of Cremona) I routinely use an Apacer and have not has any problems with it for a LONG time. If you are getting the /dev/da* devices created, that indicates that it is working. I'm a bit suspicious of the file system. How was it created? I put a UFS file system on mine (or half of mine), but I don't remember all of the details. I think I used sysinstall to slice and label it. And, of course, I had to newfs it. It comes with a FAT file system on it and on all of my newer fobs, I just leave it there since I'm usually writing a file to put on someone's Windows laptop. "mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt" -- R.
