Sounds like that drive isn't spinning up.
The "Elements" product doesn't exactly tell what it is, some units
either come with their own power supply or require non-standard
USB power.
The device is pretty standard. One thing I forgot to mention in
the original report is that it used to work just fine with NetBSD
on the old build.
Maybe 'scsictl sd0 start' helps to get the disk online. If that
has an effect you may need 'dkctl sd0 makewedges' if you use a GPT
label.
``scsictl sd0 start'' makes a little bit of progress, and claims
to be "fabricating a geometry". ``gpt show -a sd0'' shows two
partitions (one for NetBSD backups, and one for Windoze backups)
# gpt show sd0
start size index contents
0 1 PMBR
1 1 Pri GPT header
2 32 Pri GPT table
34 2014 Unused
2048 4294967296 1 GPT part - NetBSD FFSv1/FFSv2
4294969344 3518951424 2 GPT part - Windows basic data
7813920768 49119 Unused
7813969887 32 Sec GPT table
7813969919 1 Sec GPT header
But it does not seem to progress to the discover-wedges process,
and no wedges seem to exist:
# dkctl sd0 listwedges
/dev/rsd0: no wedges configured
