I guess this is my last ditch effort attempt to find out if the conner model CTT800I-F QIC-80 (drive connects via fdd connection) is in any way, shape or form accessible under fbsd. I've tried adding in the following lines to the kernels config, but no luckage with it: controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 flags 0x1 vector fdintr *and* device ft0 at fdc0 drive 2 at which time i get the response back during the configuration of the kernel i recieve: config: line 42: syntax error config: line 43: fdc 0 not defined config: line 44: fdc 0 not defined config: line 45: fdc 0 not defined Warning: device "ft" is unknown at which time I then remodified the kernel to remove the quatations with the same results. figure, okay, no problem, just keep marching on right... # make depend -- no problems # make --------- appears to have no problems # make install - does install just fine # shutdown -r now # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV ft0 ft0 - no such device name # I'm wondering if there is a way to work around this, maybe using a scsi fdd controller and build that into the kernel, do you think that would work?
