The boot probed for the PCMI credit-card modem and saw it as zp. But I there is nothing in /dev that matches. I downloaded boot-pao.flp from the www.jp.FreeBSD/PAO Toshiba page, using my PC that has 2.2.5, XFree86 and a working modem. It wouldn't fit on a 14.4 regular floppy formatted with a file system, so I tarred it to two floppies and have the file in the root directory of my laptop. What do I do with it? It seems to be an executable, or maybe it's a text file with a few lines in English and the rest in Japanese. Executing it gives me garbage and an error. Do I need to do a MAKEDEV on zp, and then add that to the kernel.config file? Maybe it's supposed to fit on a floppy, to be used as a boot floppy as the name implies, maybe I did something worng formatting, labelling or ftuning the floppy. I followed the instructions in The Complete FreeBSD. Any suggestions? Thanks, Ken To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
