I updated to NetBSD 11.99.5 and still neither : $ sudo mount -t msdos /dev/sd0e /mnt nor amd would mount. Until I did the root mount several times in a row (and with several usb drives) and then it started mounting, and then amd also started mounting. In all cases, when the usb drive was inserted : [ 579486.1619670] umass0 at uhub1 port 9 configuration 1 interface 0 [ 579486.1619670] umass0: Generic (0x058f) Mass Storage (0x6387), rev 2.00/1.00, addr 12 [ 579486.1619670] scsibus0 at umass0: 2 targets, 1 lun per target [ 579486.1719671] sd0 at scsibus0 target 0 lun 0: <Generic, Flash Disk, 8.07> disk removable [ 579486.1719671] sd0: fabricating a geometry [ 579486.1719671] sd0: 3815 MB, 3815 cyl, 64 head, 32 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 7813120 sectors [ 579486.1719671] sd0: fabricating a geometry $ disklabel sd0 # /dev/rsd0: type: SCSI disk: Flash Disk label: fictitious flags: removable bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 32 tracks/cylinder: 64 sectors/cylinder: 2048 cylinders: 3815 total sectors: 7813120 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # microseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # microseconds drivedata: 0 5 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs] d: 7813120 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 3814) e: 7812992 128 MSDOS # (Cyl. 0*- 3814) disklabel: boot block size 0 disklabel: super block size 0 So this was all working fine but mounting would fail (I forgot the issue but wasn't a permissions error). No changes whatsoever to any config files. Seems a bit like a permissions issue, at least with amd, but I had changed nothing.
