Myers) Message-ID: <4luiun$na7@usenet6.interramp.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: ip72.san-francisco3.ca.interramp.com X-Newsreader: knews 0.9.3 I just installed a Fujitsu 230MB magneto-optical drive on my FreeBSD 2.1R system. At boot time, this is how it is (un)recognized: Apr 27 17:36:37 freebsd /kernel: (ncr0:3:0): "FUJITSU M2512A 1304" type 7 removable SCSI 2 Apr 27 17:36:37 freebsd /kernel: uk0(ncr0:3:0): Unknown Apparently because of the limited functionality of the uk device, I cannot use disklabel or anything else on this drive. Yet I know others have gotten MO drives working. What's the secret? I was expecting it to come up as sd1, which I know how to deal with... Any help appreciated. -David.
