Hi gang, I have spent the last day pulling out my hair trying to figure out why I can't get this USB floppy drive to work. I know the drive works as I used it to install FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE on this laptop yesterday. When I plug it in I get the following: Apr 2 14:49:49 xyzzy /kernel: umass0: MITSUMI MITSUMI USB FDD , rev 1.00/1.00, addr 4 Apr 2 14:49:49 xyzzy /kernel: umass0: MITSUMI MITSUMI USB FDD , rev 1.00/1.00, addr 4 Apr 2 14:49:49 xyzzy /kernel: da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 Apr 2 14:49:49 xyzzy /kernel: da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 Apr 2 14:49:49 xyzzy /kernel: da0: <MITSUMI USB FDD 1033> Removable Direct Acce ss SCSI-0 device Apr 2 14:49:49 xyzzy /kernel: da0: <MITSUMI USB FDD 1033> Removable Direct Acce ss SCSI-0 device Apr 2 14:49:49 xyzzy /kernel: da0: 20KB/s transfers Apr 2 14:49:49 xyzzy /kernel: da0: 20KB/s transfers Apr 2 14:49:49 xyzzy /kernel: da0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT REA DY, Medium not present Apr 2 14:49:49 xyzzy /kernel: da0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT REA DY, Medium not present All this seems ok to me since it has no floppy in the drive. Yet when I try and mount a floppy using mount -t ufs /dev/da0 /floppy or mount -t ufs /dev/fd0 /floppy both fail. First with mount: Input/output error & the seconds with mount: Device not configured . Any ideas would be much appreciated. This is the only part of the system that doesn't work.
