Split HDD in half, XPPRO on one side, FreeBSD 6.1 on the other side. Only been tweaking with it for a couple of days now. Several "issues" seem to be on the plate. One is accessing the USB floppy drive. ??? 5 USB ports showing in dmesg, but none actually mount the drive when I attempt "mount_msdosfs /dev/**** /mnt" ?? Very happy otherwise. DSL modem should be coming UPS in the next couple of days. At THAT time, I'm sure I'll have some more questions and comments. Thanks for listening, and any suggestions on the USB floppy drive access.
