It seems to be recognised, but gives errors as follows: ad0: 19623MB [39870/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33 ad4: 39266MB [79780/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA100 ad6: 39266MB [79780/16/63] at ata3-master UDMA100 (null): MODE_SENSE - UNIT ATTENTION asc=29 ascq=00 error=04 (null): MODE_SENSE - ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=24 ascq=00 sks=40 00 02 error=04 (null): MODE_SENSE - ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=24 ascq=00 sks=40 00 02 error=04 (null): MODE_SENSE - ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=24 ascq=00 sks=40 00 02 error=04 (null): MODE_SENSE - ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=24 ascq=00 sks=40 00 02 error=04 ata1-master: tape device - NO DRIVER! acd0: CDROM at ata1-slave using PIO4 Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a The tape drive is on the secondary onboard IDE channel as master (we have the system disk on the primary channel, a CDROM as slave on the secondary and two further disks hanging off a PCI card.) What next? What device name should it use and will I need to MAKEDEV to get it registered?
