On an old 350Mhz AMD System 7 board. Purchased USB board seperately.
The board was manufactured in 1998 by ADS Technologies. Model
Number USBX-500. USB version 1.0. FreeBSD version 7.1, GENERIC kernal.
Step 1
Plugged in board. Hey! Don't laugh. When I pulled the old
machine out of the closet, and blew off the dust, the USB board wasn't
seated. This took the better part of a morning to figure out. usbdevs -v
showed usb hub enabled, but got 'Block device requred' error.
Step 2.
In bios set IRQ/PNP to auto detect. Also this bios had a setting
for onboard USB that was set to disabled. USB was not detected until I
set it to enabled.
Step 3
USB recognized on boot. Used usbdevs -v command to verify.
Step 4
plugged in 1.0 GB USB stick, msdos, used regularly on an XP system. Only
had two text files on it. Checked var/log/messages to verify and find
device (da0s1).
Step 5
Mounted USB with mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb. Wala! It worked.
