And how does it work? Thanks. If a "re-taste" of the card is required, first run # true > /dev/mmcsd0 and the slice, corresponding to the "DOS primary partition" that is stored on the card, will be found, the required device entry will be available. This is the one you're going to mount. It will usually be /dev/mmcsd0s1. You can use the shell's autocompletition feature (press TAB or Ctrl+D) so you don't have to remember the device name. # mount -t msdosfs /dev/mmcsd0[TAB] /dev/mmcsd0 /dev/mmcsd0s1 # mount -t msdosfs /dev/mmcsd0s1 /media/sd ... do stuff ... # umount /media/sd If you find yourself using this command often, create an entry in /etc/fstab, and then just use "mount /media/sd" (or whatever mount- point you choose). :-) But note that this example assumes you have a FAT formatted card. If the file system on the card is in UFS, /dev/mmcsd0 (dedicated, no partitions at all), /dev/mmcsd0s1a or /dev/mmcsd0s1d (MBR and disklabel partitioned), or /dev/mmcsd0p1 (GPT partitioned) would be the correct device to mount. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
