Well I am using 3.1-Stable. I did this.
If these controllers and devices are in your
kernel config, then see if they are in the LINT
file to make sure the kernel supports them.
If they are supported by LINT, add them to your own kernel config file.
In 3.1-Stable they are part of the Generic kernel by default.
All you have to do in 3.1-STABLE is remove the # in front
of the vpo0, recompile, install, and reboot the kernel.
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC or LINT
# Parallel port
device ppc0 at isa? port? net irq 7
controller ppbus0
device nlpt0 at ppbus?
device plip0 at ppbus?
device ppi0 at ppbus?
#controller vpo0 at ppbus?
Once you reboot you have to mount it. You can do..
mark@slugo:/dos:>mount -t msdos /dev/da0s4 /dos/zip
If this doesnt work, make sure you have the /dev/da?? devices
in your /dev dir..
$ cd /dev
$ ./MAKEDEV da0
Then try to mount again..
