I can't get lpt0 going.
I am running 2.0.5-ALPHA with a VESA local bus all-in-one controller
board (hard disk, floppy disk, parralel port, serial ports). I
recompiled the kernel in order to get rid of the extraneous device
drivers. Here is the output from dmesg:
FreeBSD 2.0.5-ALPHA #0: Tue Jun 6 21:31:07 1995

npx0 on motherboard

When, as root, I type the command 'cat /etc/printcap > /dev/lpt0' , I
get the message "device busy".
The same hardware works with Linux and Dos.
I would very much appreciate a pointer on how to proceed with
trouble-shooting this problem.
