OK:)

it worked for Steves Wife, so it should work for me.

It "looked"  like it wasn't working, but IT WAS.

despite on console:

sd0 at scsibus0 target 0 lun 0: <Apple, iPod, 1.63> disk removable
sd0(umass0:0:0:0):  Check Condition on CDB: 0x00 00 00 00 00 00
    SENSE KEY:  Not Ready
     ASC/ASCQ:  Logical Unit Is in Process Of Becoming Ready

sd0: drive offline


I did
su# disklabel sd0
# /dev/rsd0d:
type: SCSI
snip//
#        size    offset     fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
 d:  39063024         0     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0 -   2431*)
 f:  38973690     80325      MSDOS                     # (Cyl.      5 -   2430)
disklabel: boot block size 0
disklabel: super block size 0


so f is visible.

i changed the entry in fstab and mounted it and ran gtkpod and WALLAH!
it works.


sorry , i was misled by the original message and thought it was no good.



Thanks to all:)

Paul.
