Hello; How is a usb device accessed on Freebsd. I installed an SATA drive in a usb enclosure and plugged in into usb port on the machine. Console message indicated detection of the device when the power switch for the usb enclosure was set to on. When I did mount -w /dev/usb (or usbN) I got special device unknown. Or mount -w /dev/usb (or usbN) /mnt needs block device. There is a first time for everything. man usb does not tell me. and Absolute BSD (M. Lucas) does not say anything about usb devices let alone how to access them. Thank you for patience and guidance Jeff K.
