DRAGONFLY CDROM README.USB When booting from CDRom, the USB subsystem is not entirely activated by the default boot, and while the primary USB and OHCI drivers are loaded, the EHCI driver is not loaded and usbd is not started. This is because USB is always a moving target and we want to ensure that the CD actually boots. To finish activating USB do the following at the root prompt: kldload ehci.ko rcforce usbd If you have a lot of UMASS storage devices /dev may not have device entries for all of them. DragonFly uses a pseudo SCSI layer to access USB mass storage devices so if /dev/daX does not exist you can create it with MAKEDEV: cd /dev ./MAKEDEV da4 da5 To enable USBD after installing on a hard disk, simply set usbd_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf. $DragonFly: src/nrelease/root/README.USB,v 1.1 2004/03/17 19:19:17 dillon Exp $
