external hard drive

[Lloyd Hayes]

I re-installed the system last night. Weather was bad and I decided to 
close work down early.
I got to thinking about it, and simply did a search for "da*" in the 
device directory. It came up with "da0" and "da0s1". "da0" produces 
errors. "da0s1" loaded my Buslink external HD fine. Problem solved for 
that drive.

The small drive enclosure is a different matter.... The computer lights 
the power light up on the case, and causes the drive to make that 
ticking noise. But if I do a hotplug, I don't get any notices the way 
that I do with the Buslink HD. I'm beginning to think that I may have 
been mistaken about FreeBSD seeing this drive last spring. It doesn't 
appear to see it now. Or, else it sees it as something different.
