Every USB (2.0) disk/stick is covered by the USB mass-storage driver. You'll need: |
| 8 |
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD (USB 2.0) |
| 9 |
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE (mass-storage) |
| 10 |
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD (SCSI-disk) |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
After connecting the disk, check dmesg to see which device has been created. |
| 13 |
Most probably it's /dev/sda, if you don't have any other SCSI/USB disks. |
