I also want to try urtwn in NetBSD (I build the kernel and userland) and OpenBSD live USB. OpenBSD apparently has no support for either USB 3.0 or GPT, can't access my hard drive at all. NetBSD has no USB 3.0 support but supports GPT with partitions in a strange way, /dev/dk0, /dev/dk1, /dev/dk2, and so on, with this sequence spanning all GPT devices including USB hard drives and USB sticks. I install NetBSD to a USB stick but have the source, and pkgsrc too, on an older FreeBSD UFS2/ffsv2 hard-drive partition where all the heavy work is done. Aside from the possibility of porting urtwn from OpenBSD or NetBSD, maybe it could be ported from Linux? Tom
