mounting usb drive
hi, first of all, i would really like to know how to find out where my usb is in the system. if i "cd to /dev/usb i have a hub0 to hub4 and hid0 -- hid5 .. how do i know where my usb is?

and i guess once i find out which one my usb is at, i can do something like "mount /dev/usb/xxx /tmp" does solaris support ntfs drive by the way?

thanks
