XP sees it and VBox also sees it but OI doesn't.
If I need to mount it,  are there specific directions?
I've looked at general Linux directions and I fail.

If the desktop isn't picking up on it automatically, the cfgadm command is where I would start troubleshooting. Run as root, it lists all of the devices, ports, and occupants that the kernel is aware of.


nathan@mossflower:~$ pfexec cfgadm -la
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition
usb2/1                         usb-hub      connected    configured   ok

At one time, I thought that listing included the block device too (c4t0d0p0), and someone more knowledgeable may be able to better say, but rmformat will list that:

nathan@mossflower:~$ rmformat
Looking for devices...
     1. Logical Node: /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0p0
        Physical Node: /pci@0,0/pci-ide@1f,1/ide@0/sd@0,0
        Connected Device: HL-DT-ST CDRW/DVD GCC4244 B103
        Device Type: CD Reader
        Bus: IDE
        Size: <Unknown>
        Label: <Unknown>
        Access permissions: <Unknown>
     2. Logical Node: /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0p0
        Physical Node: /pci@0,0/pci1028,1ad@1d,7/storage@7/disk@0,0
        Connected Device: Sony     Storage Media    0100
        Device Type: Removable
        Bus: USB
        Size: 1.9 GB
        Label: <Unknown>
        Access permissions: Medium is not write protected.

So, in the most manual case, you could confirm that the occupant is configured with cfgadm and then mount the filesystem directly as guided by rmformat. All of that helps set you up for Roel and Dmitry ask (VM? how setup? how is it partitioned? do you have filesystem drivers?)

Hope that helps,
Nathan
