I can't use my parallel port iomega ZIP drive on FreeBSD. I think that I followed all the instructions (from the ZIP drive article under /usr/share/doc/en/articles) correctly, but obviously I missed something :-( What I did was: 1. Configure the kernel: the (as far as I have understood) important lines of my kernel configuration "PCKERNEL" were: # SCSI peripherals # the next two are required by vpo device (Iomega ZIP drive) device scbus # SCSI bus (required) device da # Direct Access (disks) # the rest is not necessary #device sa # Sequential Access (tape etc) #device cd # CD #device pass # Passthrough device (direct SCSI access) # Parallel port device ppc0 at isa? irq 7 device ppbus # Parallel port bus (required) #device lpt # Printer #device plip # TCP/IP over parallel device ppi # Parallel port interface device device vpo # Requires scbus and da 1a. Compile the kernel with: cd /usr/src; make buildkernel KERNCONF=PCKERNEL 1b. Install it: make installkernel KERNCONF=PCKERNEL 2. Reboot: During boot, the system "hung" for a few seconds and some "timeout" messages from vpo appeared on the screen. The last lines of dmesg output are: ppc0: at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0 ppc0: Generic chipset (EPP/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode ppi0: on ppbus0 vpo0: on ppbus0 vpo0: EPP mode ad0: 38166MB [77545/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33 ad1: 12416MB [25228/16/63] at ata0-slave UDMA33 acd0: CDROM at ata1-master PIO4 acd1: CD-RW at ata1-slave PIO4 vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5) vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5) vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (2) vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5) vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5) vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5) vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5) vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5) vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5) vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (2) vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5) vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5) vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5) Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a That is, something went wrong here already?! 3. When I tried to mount, the mount was unsuccessful, of course :-( # mount_msdos /dev/da1s4 /mnt mount_msdos: /dev/da1s4: Device not configured Any hint highly appreciated! Thanks, Vivenzio Pagliari
