I don't seem to have a dmesg command, nor a /var/log/dmesg :-(

I'm not sure... /proc/partitions shows hda*, hdc*, md0 and md1. and pinching
the dd line from rc.usb prooves I can read from hda/hdc but not any sd*..

There are lots of references to /dev/sd* devicexs in rc. files in
/etc, eg rc.usb does that dd to find out if to mount as fat32 or
ext2/3.
I have tried with a usb mp3/flash stick, and a "proper" hard disc via
a usb-ide adapter.
Thanks for the help ....
Rob.
