I've a listing in /etc/fstab to mount it at boot. Unfortunately, the drive does not boot because localmount can't find /dev/sda1. Now, after the boot process I can find /dev/sda1 and mount the drive just fine, leading me to believe that localmount tries to mount the drive without populating /dev with USB devices. How could I resolve this? Thanks -- Dan Cowsill http://www.danthehat.net -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
