The amd64 laptop has no network connection yet, so I'm trying to achive this with a USB flash drive. The problem is that I always end up with # mount /dev/da0p1 /mnt/ mount: /dev/da0p1: Invalid argument # If I do newfs on the sparc64 box, then I can't mount it on the amd64 box, and vice versa. I tried just "newfs /dev/da0", and using gpart, e.g.: # gpart show /dev/da0 => 34 4029373 da0 GPT (1.9G) 34 2048 1 freebsd-ufs (1.0M) 2082 4027325 - free - (1.9G) # and then "newfs /dev/da0p1", or similar, but no luck. I tried sparc64 VTOC8 partition scheme too - no help. I can mount the device and use it as expected, i.e. copy files to/from it on either box, but the other box doesn't seem to understand the file system. I tried loading various modules in desperation, e.g. on the sparc64 side: # kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 9 0xc0000000 a80e58 kernel 2 1 0x101bca000 104000 geom_part_mbr.ko 3 1 0x101cce000 110000 geom_label.ko 4 1 0x101dde000 108000 geom_part_gpt.ko # but still no use. Am I missing something simple? Thanks Anton
