Subject:   mounting CF card on FreeBSD 2.2.8?
Message-ID:  <200006090841.SAA25905@zen.quick.com.au>

I'm travelling shortly, and wish to be able to store pics from my
camera on my laptop (very.quick.com.au) which runs FreeBSD 2.2.8-STABLE
and which I need to take with me for work.

My old laptop (not.quick.com.au) runs NetBSD-1.4 and on that I just

not# disklabel wd1
not# mount -r -t msdos /dev/wd1e /mnt

and away you go.  But I'd prefer to not have to take both laptops.

When I plug a CF (Compact Flash) card into "very", it is detected 3 times:

Jun  9 18:05:25 very /kernel: Card inserted, slot 0
Jun  9 18:05:29 very pccardd[48]: Card "KINGMAX TECHNOLOGY INC."("KCF016MP") [1.1] [(null)] has function ID 4 
Jun  9 18:05:29 very pccardd[48]: Card "KINGMAX TECHNOLOGY INC."("KCF016MP") [1.1] [(null)] has function ID 4

Jun  9 18:05:32 very /kernel: wdc1: unit 0 (wd3): <KCF016MP>
Jun  9 18:05:32 very /kernel: wd3: 15MB (32000 sectors), 500 cyls, 4 heads, 16 S/T, 512 B/S
Jun  9 18:05:32 very /kernel: wd3: 15MB (32000 sectors), 500 cyls, 4 heads, 16 S/T, 512 B/S
Jun  9 18:05:32 very root: Flash ATA / ATA HDD inserted

and disklable does not seem to like it:

very# disklabel wd1
disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Invalid argument
very# disklabel wd2
disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Invalid argument
very# disklabel wd3
disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Invalid argument

nor does mount:

very# mount -r -t msdos /dev/wd1e /mnt 
msdos: /dev/wd1e: Invalid argument

Upgrading the OS on "very" is not an option, but upgrading specific
bits like "disklabel" is ok if that's all that's needed to make this
work. 

Clue's welcome.  Please include me on any replies - I'm not subscribed
