I tried a recent distribution image (Aug15). The live CD worked with my external harddrive, after plugging it in i issued 'usbfat:', and i was able to read and write files on it. When I installed it, 'usbfat:' said that there are no usb disks. usbd was running (5 threads), I will try ls '#u' when i have access to the machine.
