It appears that some thing is amiss with the latest version. I will
download the latest livefs iso and see if that works.

I think I remember seing a posting within the last few days saying
that the "sbp" device wan't going to be compiled into the 8.0-release
kernel due to it causing hangs on boot. If you run "kldload sbp" as
root after the system has booted you should see your disk devices
appear.

I can't find the list post mentioning it, but here's the svn commit
log:

Thanks for responding. I checked and the "sbp" device is in fact
commented out. I do remember a thread a month or two back about some
folkes having trouble with firewire drives. I never experiem=nced any
trouble on of that trouble on this system.

I can continue to operate my drive on USB but I may need firewire in the
near future. I have a friend who is a photographer and I archive her
photos for her. She sends me an external drive or two and I burn
her projects onto DVD. I am not sure if her drives have an USB
connector.

I guess I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

Thanks again for the prompt response. If anyone needs me to test
possible fixes for this, I am willing and available. Cheap too :-)

Robert
