[thechat] Wacky OS X Question

[Ben Dyer]

Not really appropriate for thelist, so...

Got a Mac OS X question, *nix and *BSD users out there, don't delete this 
yet, I need your help, too.

Got a Buslink hard drive that will not show up under Mac OS X.  Under the 
Apple System Profiler it registers as being on the USB chain, but will not 
mount.  Does anyone know of a way to get this to work?

Second question (for the *nix and *BSD users), the only suggestion I've 
found anywhere online is to try and mount the drive manually.  How do I do 
this?  I've read about the mount command in Terminal, but I don't know how 
to use it.  Basically, how do you identify the drive?  Like, if I give it 
the command "mount ________ /mnt/hd2/", what goes in the blank?  I'm not 
sure how to find that out.  Buslink's site is worthless and their support 
is nonexistent.  Most of the boards have no suggestions.

Oh, and I'd prefer not to format that drive, but if that's the only option, 
I can live with it.

Argh.
