Works for me with 5.1 I added this to my /etc/fstab: /dev/da0s1 /camera msdos r,notauto,longnames 0 0 created a /camera directory and did "MAKEDEV da0s1" but when I try to mount /camera: # mount /camera fstab: /etc/fstab:9: Inappropriate file type or format fstab: /etc/fstab:9: Inappropriate file type or format mount: /camera: unknown special file or file system when I try putting this line in /etc/fstab: /dev/usb0 /usb msdos rw,noauto,longnames 0 0 and # mount /usb I get: fstab: /etc/fstab:9: Inappropriate file type or format msdos: /dev/usb0: Block device required Do I need to do something like /dev/usb0/da0s1 The handbook goes into great detail about the architecture and says that USB was supported early on and that the device is smart enough to work on a plug and play basis no matter what you plug into it. I can't mount the device, much less use a peripheral plugged into it. regards, Ken
