People:
I have a digital Hinote Ultra ct450. I've added a 810meg hd and 24 meg
ran as per Tatsumi Hosokawa's instructions. It works very well. I have
Windows95 on a 225 meg partition.
HOWEVER, I am having difficulty loading FreeBSD on it. :-(
My plan was to use plip with a laplink cable connected to my FreeBSD
server. I boot with FreeBSD-RELEASE 2.1. The kernel boots and I see
"lp0 TCP/IP capable interface".
I go through all the disk setup and partitioning O.K.
When the system gets to "configuring lp0" a message appears:
"Unable to configure the lp0 interface! This installation method cannot
be used."
In the BIOS setup I have the parallel port set to 378H - IRQ 7. This
matches the default kernel driver parameters.
I've cycled through all the available BIOS parallel port modes:
standard, bidirectional(ps2), enhanced parallel port (EPP), and extended
Capabilities Port(ECP). I always get the same "Unable to configure....)
message. Any help will be greatly appreciated. The only other options I
have here are a few floppies (bad), and a megahertz xj2288 modem.
Thanks for the help in advance!
Stan
