Hi there,
Can anyone give me some quick pointers to mounting an external
firewire drive under Gentoo, please?
I've just installed 2006.0 on a new system, and pretty much used the
exact same .config as the LiveCD's kernel when building my own
(`zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux.config`) so I'm guessing that
all I'm missing is some modprobes.
I thought that under udev, the kernel was supposed to be quite clever
about recognising devices. Do I need to emerge coldplug, or is there
anything else I can do to help things along?
If I boot from a LiveCD or Knoppix these are always very good about
finding all the devices in the system and making a mount point for
them - are there any utilities for my installed Gentoo system that
will do similar.
Many thanks in advance for any pointers,
Stroller.
