--0-277102999-1081186501=:94010 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Id: Content-Disposition: inline hi all, I have an external hard disk I want to access via firewire. I have a Lucent chipset based PCI firewire card. Using FreeBSD 5.2.1 (x86). I do not have dmesg output at the moment, but I can see messages like firewire0:... How can I verify where a device entry (under /dev) has been created? How do I mount the device? Sorry if this is a newbie Q, but I have not found documentation for this. How can I do this under USB? man camcontrol says, "...newbies should stay away from this..." Thanks in advance..
