While the 'dmesg' refers to a printer, I haven't hooked one up to this system yet. I figured that I would deal with one problem at a time. So far, none of the UNIX type systems has liked much of my equipment, and I have a lot more to add to it....
In reading your message, I see that I need to clear one point up. I've had version 5.0, 5.2, 5.2.1 and 5.3 of FreeBSD on this laptop. I have also had several versions of Linux on this laptop. It is a test computer for trying out various systems to see what will work for me. The systems installed were installed after the hard disk was re-formated and wiped clean. There was no remaining information on the hard drive. It was a completely clean install.
(Note: If you remove the FreeBSD partitions, then simply re-create a FreeBSD partition system on the same drive, the information is still there on the hard drive. You can even read your old files. I wiped the drive before installing it by writing to every block on the hard drive between removing one and installing the next operating system. I have a couple of special programs which run from a floppy which do this.)
I use computers all day, every day. I'm a truck driver. Computers are integrated into the trucking business. Trucking companies employ a vast number of IT professionals. In the last few years, drivers have had to learn about computers. I had a head start. In many communities and for several years now, truck drivers are the most numerous group of computer buyers. I need a computer in my truck everyday, and at home when I'm there, and I need them all day long. Computers that I can count on. Microsoft systems have never been real dependable. With the various viruses floating around, they have become even less dependable. I have been looking to see what I can replace the MS operating system with for daily usage. When I am satisfied, then that operating system will end up on several of my computers. But not until then. I haven't found any that I am satisfied with. But I attribute that to my own lack of knowledge on UNIX type systems, and on networking in general. Using this older backup computer is the way that I have chosen to figure this out.
FreeBSD seems to be very difficult for me to learn, but I also think that it may be the way to go, too.

Yes, this drive works fine under windows XP. It has fat32 file system on it.
When I had FBSD v5.2.1 on this computer several months ago and the system recognized it fine. But none of the Linux distros would recognize it.
However, I realized last night that this installation of FBSD is not recognizing my 40 GB Buslink hard which all versions of UNIX has recognized, including FBSD when I had it on before. I use this drive all of the time. FBSD did recognize it during the installation process, but I hadn't looked at it since until last night. It also has a Fat32 format. I'm beginning that SSH is the problem. I did not have it installed before.

How could SSH possibly be the problem. If you had FreeBSD installed before and it saw the drive, which is my understanding from your previous email to the list, then you had SSH installed before because ssh has been in the base install for quite a while.
You listed the symptoms of your problem and your interpretation of them,
could you now post your dmesg, fstab and rc.conf to the list so we can
actually help instead of just listen to you describe your problem?
