OK this is crazy.
mrredeyeflight , please take a moment to provide some useful information. What you're (currently) doing; is the equivalent of calling a mechanic on the phone, and saying "my car is broken". How do I fix it?
Do you think that mechanic can tell you how to fix it, without a reasonable amount of additional information?
Anyway. You've already been given some good advice, and suggestions. But I'll ask you some specific questions. That the answers to, will give you
specific answers that'll get you through your trouble, with little to no effort on your part.
1) Does you're (FreeBSD) system seem to
see the drive. If not. As root, please open
/boo/loader.conf and place this:
boot_verbose="YES"
in it. Then reboot, and post the output in
/var/run/dmesg.boot to this thread.
2) Have you already formatted this drive, in say, Windows? If so, then take the advice above by
Phishfry , so you can read it.
3) If you
haven't already formatted it, and your (FreeBSD) system
does appear to see it. Then (assuming the drive is USB, and the ONLY (USB) drive) do the following:
Code:
gpart destroy -F da0
gpart create -s GPT da0
gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -l usbdrive da0
newfs -Ujo time /dev/gpt/usbdrive
mount /dev/gpt/usbdrive /mnt/
Done!
Have a nice day!
