Dear Gentlemen,
I was installing Mr. Nicolas Souchu´s Parallel Port Zip FreeBSD Drive...
I have FreeBSD 2.2.1, 32 MB RAM, Pentium-S 133 MHz.
I was doing what the README file says, but I´m having some problems in the
installation:
> - Copy the ppbus directory to /sys/dev/
No problem. I copied exactly to /sys/dev/ppbus/
> - Copy the files in the isa directory to /sys/i386/isa
No problem
> - Edit /sys/conf/files, and add: (...)
OK. No problem
> - Edit /sys/i386/conf/files.i386, and add (...)
OK. No problem
>- An example of the /sys/i386/conf/MACHINE file:
>
> controller scbus0 # SCSI stuff
> device sd0
>
> controller ppbus0 # ppbus stuff
> controller vpo0 at ppbus0 # Iomega ZIP
support
> device nlpt0 at ppbus0 # printer support
> device ppi0 at ppbus0 # ppbus interface
> #device plip0 at ppbus0 # PLIP support
>
> controller ppc0 at isa? port? irq 7 vector ppcintr
>
> #controller ppa0 at isa? port 0x378 # Obsolete
> #device lpt0 at isa? port? tty # Obsolete
Here´s my first doubt... Is he saying that I should add these lines to my
"RINUNEZ" file to rebuild my kernel inmediately after this step??? I named
my kernel file selfishly "RINUNEZ" .
What I really did was just make the "MACHINE" file and go on with the other
steps.
>- Add the following line to /sys/i386/i386/userconfig.c:
> {"ppc", "Parallel port chipset", 0, CLS_COMMS},
I noticed that´s a C file, but that line is not a legal statement in C
language... Is it all right???
> - add the special device nodes to /dev:
>
> mknod /dev/ppi0 c 82 0
> mknod /dev/ppi1 c 82 1
...
OK.
>Modules

I run "make" over the ppbimod directory, but it doesn´t work. I append the
output (stderr and stdout at the end of this note).
>Boot flags

> bits 0,1,2,3:
> chipset's mode (see ppbconf.h)
> bit 4:

> 1 -> EPP 1.7 protocol

> 0 -> consider interrupts
> 1 -> ignore interrupts
I have no idea what this part means.
Yours faithfully and thank you very much,

P.S.:
The output of make:
