4    When booting from CDRom, the USB subsystem is not entirely activated
5    by the default boot, and while the primary USB and OHCI drivers are
6    loaded, the EHCI driver is not loaded and usbd is not started.  This
7    is because USB is always a moving target and we want to ensure that
8    the CD actually boots.

10    To finish activating USB do the following at the root prompt:
11
12	kldload ehci.ko
13	rcforce usbd
14
15    If you have a lot of UMASS storage devices /dev may not have device
16    entries for all of them.  DragonFly uses a pseudo SCSI layer to access
17    USB mass storage devices so if /dev/daX does not exist you can create
18    it with MAKEDEV:
19
20	cd /dev
21	./MAKEDEV da4 da5
22
23    To enable USBD after installing on a hard disk, simply set
24    usbd_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf.
