In the FreeBSD FAQ there is an entry (6.2) about how to configure the kernel to support a QIC-80 tape drive, with an example of the line to add to the configuration file. I did exactly what's in there but the kernel doesn't see the drive. I've rebuilded the kernel several times, using different numbers for the fdc0 drives (0, 1, 2) but nothing worked. Here's the piece of my configuration file for the kernel: controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr disk fd0 at fdc0 drive 0 #disk fd1 at fdc0 drive 1 tape ft0 at fdc0 drive 2 When I used the following configuration: controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr disk fd0 at fdc0 drive 0 #disk fd1 at fdc0 drive 1 tape ft0 at fdc0 drive 1 the system saw another floppy drive: [1: fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in] but didn't see the tape drive. Can anybody help me with that? I'm using FreeBSD 2.0 Thanks a lot! -ivan- ivan@nauplius.rsmas.miami.edu
