Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I would appreciate if anyone can help me with the following problem: I just purchased a Sony SuperStation ATAPI tape drive after having noted that FreeBSD 3.0 offers Beta support for such devices. After installing FreeBSD 3.1 Release (a clean, scratch install, which was quite straightforward, BTW) I built a custom kernel that included the following: options ATAPI #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus options ATAPI_STATIC #Don't do it as an LKM device acd0 #IDE CD-ROM device wst0 #IDE Streaming Tape At boot time, I noted the following probes: wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): wd0: 6187MB (12672450 sectors), 13410 cyls, 15 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc0: unit 1 (atapi): , removable, intr, dma, iordis acd0: drive speed 1377KB/sec, 512KB cache acd0: supported read types: CD-R, CD-DA acd0: supported write types: CD-R, test write acd0: Audio: play, 2 volume levels acd0: Mechanism: ejectable tray acd0: Medium: CD-ROM 120mm data disc loaded, unlocked wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): , removable, accel, iordy ppc0 at 0x378 irq 7 on isa The device is being seen as an atapi device, but not as a wst tape drive... what am I doing wrong? The rest of my configuration is as follows: Pentium II 350 Mhz Asus P2B Motherboard 256Mb P100 RAM Adaptec 2940 Ultra/Ultra Wide SCSI Controller 4 x 6.4 Gb Quantum Firball SCSI Disks 3Com EtherLink XL PCI NIC (xl0) SB AWE32 ISA soundcard Trident 975 video card (all of which seems to work.) Thanks in advance for any help that might be provided. Cheers, dj -- + + D. J.
