It would appear that after the 'wdc0: unit 1...' is where most people get a message about wfd0 and buggy Zip disks. from config: ... #============================== IDE DEVICES ============================== controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 disk wd0 at wdc0 drive 0 disk wd1 at wdc0 drive 1 controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 disk wd2 at wdc1 drive 0 disk wd3 at wdc1 drive 1 device acd0 #IDE CD-ROM device wfd0 # IDE Floppy (ZIP Disk) #============================== IDE OPTIONS ============================== options ATAPI # Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus options ATAPI_STATIC # Don't do it as an LKM options IDE_DELAY=8000 ... I got the same results when I removed the 'disk wd1 at wdc0 drive 1', and as an experiment I tried adding 'at wdc0 drive 1' after 'device wfd0' but that caused a kernel panic because the drive seemed to be getting attached twice. Backing up to/putting BSD partitions on a Zip disk would be a dream come true so please help me. -Seth Kingsley To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
