Reply-to: jservice@OHT.Hydro.ON.CA Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have 1 floppy drive and 1 floppy tape drive in my Pentium 166. The 2.2.1 boot floppy correctly recognizes the fd and the ft devices I have but the kernel I have installed with the following options: controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr disk fd0 at fdc0 drive 0 disk fd1 at fdc0 drive 1 tape ft0 at fdc0 drive 1 tells me I have two floppy drives: Apr 22 10:24:02 pc-servicej-esg /kernel: fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa Apr 22 10:24:02 pc-servicej-esg /kernel: fdc0: NEC 72065B Apr 22 10:24:02 pc-servicej-esg /kernel: fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in Apr 22 10:24:02 pc-servicej-esg /kernel: fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in My question is in two parts: a) Why is the ft device being recognized by the boot floppy kernel and not this one? b) Would I have the actual boot floppy kernel sources buried in /usr/src somewhere so I can compare?
