Hi there, |
| 2 |
|

Can anyone give me some quick pointers to mounting an external |
| 4 |
firewire drive under Gentoo, please? |

I've just installed 2006.0 on a new system, and pretty much used the |
| 7 |
exact same .config as the LiveCD's kernel when building my own |
| 8 |
(`zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux.config`) so I'm guessing that |
| 9 |
all I'm missing is some modprobes. |

I thought that under udev, the kernel was supposed to be quite clever |
| 12 |
about recognising devices. Do I need to emerge coldplug, or is there |
| 13 |
anything else I can do to help things along? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
If I boot from a LiveCD or Knoppix these are always very good about |
| 16 |
finding all the devices in the system and making a mount point for |
| 17 |
them - are there any utilities for my installed Gentoo system that |
| 18 |
will do similar. |

Many thanks in advance for any pointers, |
