Most things are the same as BSDI and it's quite easy to move. However I found my QIC tape doesn't work properly on FreeBSD, which was working perfect on BSDI. Symptom is, reading tapes with tar (which were written in my BSDI days and by other's Sun) fails. I tried copying some files using cp (like "cp /dev/rwt0", and vice versa), and found, it doesn't seem to read correct data (or writing may also be wrong). My tape drive is Wangtek 5150PK on isa and the setting is port = 0x338 and irq 5, drq 1. This setting is not default, but kernel detects correctly (message says: Dec 20 23:06:45 texas /kernel: wt0 at 0x338-0x339 irq 5 drq 1 on isa) because I modified the kernel configuration file. And my FreeBSD version is 2.1.0-RELEASE. I didn't change my configuration since I changed to FreeBSD, and of course this configuration was working perfectly on BSDI. So I would like to hear suggestions. Thanks in advance. -Tetsuji
