I've now had success in installing NetBSD on that machine, which recognized the pseudo-CD right away. 

usbdevs -dv reports the following (appropriately snipped): 

| petzval# usbdevs -dv
| Controller /dev/usb0:
| Controller /dev/usb1:
| addr 1: high speed, self powered, config 1, EHCI root hub(0x0000), vendor 0x8086(0x8086), rev 1.00
|  uhub1
| port 1 addr 2: high speed, self powered, config 1, product 0x0024(0x0024), vendor 0x8087(0x8087), rev 0.00
|  uhub2
| port 1 powered
| port 2 powered
| port 3 powered
| port 4 powered
| port 5 addr 3: high speed, self powered, config 1, Multidevice(0x0002), Peppercon AG(0x14dd), rev 0.01, serial 58A7153FDE5EA0209BF3268C1CFEADF0
|     uhidev0
|     uhidev1
|     umass0
|   port 6 powered
|   port 7 powered
|   port 8 powered
|  port 2 powered

In dmesg, umass0 is the following: 

| umass0 at uhub2 port 5 configuration 1 interface 2
| umass0: Peppercon AG Multidevice, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 3
| umass0: using SCSI over Bulk-Only
| scsibus0 at umass0: 2 targets, 1 lun per target
| umass0 at uhub2 port 5 configuration 1 interface 2
| umass0: Peppercon AG Multidevice, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 3
| umass0: using SCSI over Bulk-Only
| scsibus0 at umass0: 2 targets, 1 lun per target

Does that help anybody to include the device configuration stuff so that the machine finds its root when booting? 

Thank you,
 Konrad
