Mounting a flash device

How do you mount a USB flash drive on Sun Blade 2000 or 2500 with solaris 8?

Thanks in advance Smilie

Look at your available disk devices before putting the flash drive in. Put the flash drive in and try running 'devfsadm' and see if any new devices appear. Not sure what you'd mount it as though - guess you'd use pcfs as the file type. I never thought of trying a flash drive before. I'll have to try it.

I wonder if it would work with a Palm Lifedrive.

Cheers,

Keith
