Depending on how they were formatted, the correct device to use is either afd0s4 or afd0. You have to try both. Sometimes they have a partition table, and the msdosfs is in the 4th slot, sometimes the whole disk is just a big msdosfs. Sort of like the 'dangerously dedicated' mode in the FreeBSD installer without the BIOS backwards compatibility. This only applies to how they are formatted at the factory. If you do your own formatting, then it is however you set it up. :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
