To:>INTERNET:questions@freebsd.org Date: 20 May 1995 Recently, I installed FreeBSD 2.0 to my PC from a Walnut Creek CDROM. Hardware : ZEOS Pantera 486 CPU : Intel 486/66Mhz, 16MB Video-card: Diamond VIPER PCI, 2MB. In addition to the 3.5inch floppy drive unit, I have Colorado tape unit which is driven by floppy controller as well (ft unit). Following instructions I reconfigured and relinked the kernel according to my hardware configuration. In the first attempt I set the following configuration for floppy: 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 Result: System run OK. ft is not present in the device table. fd0 is present but doesn't run as a 3.5inch device (read errors, probably set as a 1.2MB 5.25inch device). In the second attempt I set (I have only one floppy): controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr disk fd0 at fdc0 drive 0 tape ft0 at fdc0 drive 1 Result: System run OK. ft is not present in the device table. fd0 run correctly as a 3.5inch device. I would be pleased if you can advise me how to overcome the problem. Regards
