mounting Maxtor OneTouch 4 external USB drive

807559Aug 8 2008 — edited Aug 8 2008
...plugging this device in to the USB port looks like the hardware functions properly, but the mount command escapes me.

From /var/adm/messages it shows:

...so it looks like the system recognizes it on a reboot as: scsa2usb2 is /pci@0,0/pci17aa,200b@1d,7/storage@5

Although the man page for mount_pcfs doesn't appear to allow hardware controller addresses, as in the above, I couldn't even find the binary anywhere on the system.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
