Hello,

when I plug in my flash drive and write usbfat: I can see there exists
/dev/sdU3.0 directory which I can list giving me
ctl
data
raw

However, 'data' is not a directory into which I could cd...
What's wrong?

Also, although I have usbfat: command on hand, I don't have usbeject
command; not even after pull...

Thanks for any advices on how I could use the flash.

Ruda

data is never a directory.  it's the partition representing
the whole disk.  data exists iff nsectors > 0.

usbfat: finds the first fat fs on each usb disk and mounts
it in /n/sdU*.

thanks for explanation. It works now (but I had to recompile the kernel).
