Hi, Basically, my tape drive isn't being detected correctly. Read on if you may be able to help. I'm finally upgrading my 1.1.5 system. I've tar'red the distribution files onto a QIC-80 tape (120meg uncompressed) with my Colorado Jumbo 350. I boot off the boot.flp floppy I made. The nifty install menu stuff comes up. I go through all the configuration stuff. My hard drvies are all "sliced" up. I "commit". The installation program does all the newfs'ing without any problems. Then it says get your QIC-02 tape ready. I hit enter and watch the beautiful error message pop up. Now what? I didn't see a way of telling the kernel what type of tape drive I had (btw, it does find the tape drive at bootup "ft0: Colorado tape"). I had the tape in the drive way before bootup. And I even tried to put the tape in when prompted. And the drive worked great in FreeBSD 1.1.5R. Except that I couldn't use the longer tapes (350 meg compressed) ones. I'd appreciate any advice anyone could give me. Thanks, Sherman
