Mounting portable floppy (USB) on DELL 2950

[eraugradep]

Hello,
I am running FreeBSD 6.3 on a Dell 2950. I have a portable external floppy drive that I am attempting to mount. The floppy connects to the server via USB.

Before the 2950, I used a Dell 1950 with FreeBSD 4.11. I used the following command to successfully mount the drive on the 1950, (BSD 4.11):
mount -t msdos /dev/da1 /mnt/floppy

When I run this same command on the 2950, I receive the following output:
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da1: No such file or directory.

Any ideas?

Did you try with da0s1 ???

i use da0s1 to mount my Pendrive (Kingston Data Traveler) on FreeBSD 7.0, and 6.2, i think that could be the same with your USB Floppy Drive.

its an idea, i dont knof if it will work.

See you

Maybe need to be created the device

i dont know if "makedev" is useful

i dont have experience of that kind, maybe... reading the handbook you could get "a little of light"

See you
