It worked!!! I tried the command kldload trm on the command line and in the log , I could see the driver being loaded. I then added the entry in /etc/bootloader.conf file and the driver was detected after rebooting. I also realised that the tape drive was functional straight away. There was not need for any other driver for the tape drive. Thanks again Verghese George >>> Andreas Kohn 10/01/03 9:30 PM >>> [please use reply to all to include the list] On Wed, 2003-10-01 at 12:56, Verghese George wrote: > Andreas, > Thanks.

If the trm.ko module is not available, yes, you need to recompile your kernel as described in the handbook.
