The kernel has the following USB modules: # USB core support device usb2_core # # USB controller support device usb2_controller device usb2_controller_ehci device usb2_controller_ohci device usb2_controller_uhci # # USB mass storage support device usb2_storage device usb2_storage_mass # # USB input device support device usb2_input device usb2_input_hid device usb2_input_kbd device usb2_input_ms but it also has: # some SCSI/USB support needed for system-on-schtick # nodevice uhci # UHCI PCI->USB interface nodevice ohci # OHCI PCI->USB interface nodevice ehci # EHCI PCI->USB interface (USB 2.0) nodevice usb # USB Bus (required) # # some SCSI/USB support needed for system-on-schtick nodevice udbp # USB Double Bulk Pipe devices nodevice ugen # Generic nodevice umass # usb-disks, readers nodevice uhid # "Human Interface Devices" nodevice ukbd # Keyboard nodevice ulpt # Printer nodevice ums # Mouse nodevice ural # Ralink Technology RT2500USB wireless NICs nodevice rum # Ralink Technology RT2501USB wireless NICs nodevice zyd # ZyDAS zb1211/zb1211b wireless NICs nodevice urio # Diamond Rio 500 MP3 player nodevice uscanner # Scanners When booting, the bootcode wants me to manually type in the root device to mount from and suggests the default in etc/fstab, but when I type "ufs:/dev/da0s1a", it won't sing. When I type "?", the USB-stick is _not_ among the devices "managed by GEOM". Re. GEOM, I only have: nooptions GEOM_LABEL # Provides labelization in the kernel config. I want it to boot, what should I do? -c
