I am trying to use a Sandisk CompactFlash Pc Card Adapter in the PCMCIA slot 0 to read a SanDisk CompactFlash memory card (80MB) installed within it. The card is recognized by pccard: pccard: card inserted, slot 0 Jul 8 13:57:24 tc14 pccardd[180]: Card "SunDisk"("SDP")[5/3 0.6] [(null)] matched "SunDisk" ("/.*/") [(null)] [(null)] ata4 at port 0x240-0x247,0x24e irq 10 slot 0 on pccard0 ad8: 76MB [62/8/32] at ata4-master BIOSPIO] Jul 8 13:57:29 tc14 pccardd[180]: ata4: SunDisk (/.*/) inserted and is apparently installed as ad8. So far so good. However, since no ad8s1 device exists I apparently cannot mount it. I ran /usr/src/etc/MAKEDEV ad8s1 and get: WARNING: Driver mistake: repeat make_dev("ad8s1") WARNING: Driver mistake: repeat make_dev("ad8s1") mknod: ad8s1: Operation not supported /sbin/mknod ad8s1 Running mount on this gives: tc14# mount_msdos /dev/ad8s1 /camera WARNING: Driver mistake: repeat make_dev("ad8s1") mount_msdos: /dev/ad8s1: No such file or directory Indeed there isn't an ad8s1 in /dev, so this is not a surprise. There is, however, an ad8s1b, attempting to mount it gives: tc14# mount_msdos /dev/ad8s1b /camera mount_msdos: /dev/ad8s1b: Invalid argument The same happens for ad8s1a, the other device present in /dev with ad8 in it. I think the problem here is that I don't understand the new 5.0 device system yet :( Anyway, I apologize for my lack of knowledge, and if anyone would be able to help me out I would apreciate it greatly. Thank you for your time. - Jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
