I have a "W@LK Key" USB 64MB Flash drive. The flash drive is plugged in a USB port when I boot and dmesg shows some reasonably encouraging indications that it recognizes the device. It seems to be associating it with umass0..... Part of the dmseg reads.... uhci0: port 0x2440-0x245f irq 5 at device 31.4 on pci0 usb0: on uhci0 usb0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0: Intel UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered umass0: Luwen EasyDisc, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2 My question - To what "device" do I mount? I can't find umass0 isn't in my /dev and all the other references that are there don't work - mount -t msdos /dev/????? /walkkey. Further - how does BSD figure out when this type of hot-pluggable device is being used? I've a CD burner and camera that I will eventually want to use. I couldn't find a topic in the handbook that addressed USB mass storage.....did I miss something? Thanks
