Short version:
Looks like something's wrong either with your hardware or
software: I have the same computer, with OBSD 6.5 installed, and no
problems mounting thumbs - maybe try another thumb, or recreate the
ext2 partition, or use a stable OBSD, instead of current ...
Here on macppc:
hw.product=PowerBook5,8
with a regular 6.5 it seems:
---------
kern.version=OpenBSD 6.5 (GENERIC) #496: Sat Apr 13 11:54:02 MDT 2019
dera...@macppc.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/GENERIC
--------
and I can easily move sticks/data on it around between a Fedora amd64
machine and the macppc Powerbook
For the sake of a demo here:
+ + + + On Linux + + +
Zero-ing a whole usb thumb on Fedora Linux
("dcfldd if=/dev/zero of=/dev ... etc.)
Via "gnome-disks" formatted the thumb ("compatible with all systems
and devices (MBR / DOS"), created a partition choosing "No
filesystem", because ext2 wasn't offered as an option, IIRC ...
then from the command line someth. like:
mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdf1
+ + + + On OBSD macppc + + +
then plugged the drive into the Powerbook:
after
doas disklabel sd0 I get this:
# /dev/rsd0c:
type: SCSI
disk: SCSI disk
label: Transcend 32GB
duid: 0000000000000000
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 255
sectors/cylinder: 16065

total sectors: 61132800
boundstart: 0
boundend: 61132800
drivedata: 0
16 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
c: 61132800 0 unused
i: 61130752 2048 ext2fs
-----------
then someth. like:
mount_ext2fs /dev/sd0i /mnt/ntfs
Then on macppc copied parts of this email text over to the thumb on
/mnt/ntfs, unmounted it and took the thumb back to
++++ Fedora Linux ++++
and mounted the thumb on the Linux machine, copying parts of it into
this email, that I write and send from this Fedora system ....
Because of the very first paragraphs on this page:
https://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html
try stable 6.5, maybe?

dear all,
to transfer files between an amd64 Linux, amd64 OpenBSD-current, and macppc
OpenBSD-current i have a USB drive. last night was the first time i tried to
use the drive on the macpcc.

the disklabel was not detected properly. this is the disklabel on macppc

i tried both USB ports of the Powerbook5,8. same results.
this is the **correct** disklabel on amd64 OpenBSD-current (#637: Sun Dec 15):
# /dev/rsd1c:

disk: SCSI disk

partition can be mounted properly on amd64 Linux and OpenBSD.
IIRC the drive was initialized / created on Linux.
i have other USB drives (whole disk, msdos format) that work properly across all
3 machines.
what am i missing here? looking forward to some pointers.
