Err, forgive my ignorance here, but I installed 2.2.6-STABLE off the
net a couple of days ago... that didn't seem to include the stuff
needed.  I attempted to download -current's kernel source, but it
doesn't want to compile with my sys/i386/config/CONFIGFILE...

What am I going to need to do in order to get to use the drive?  I
really would rather use it on a -STABLE system even if I then apply
a patch to that (potentially rendering it less stable)

I need to use the drive as a spool to a tape drive on a machine doing the
system backups and would rather it was a reliable machine  :-)

Apologies again for my relative lack of knowledge with regards using
FreeBSD.
