Hi,
I am using the updated installation floppy from release 2.05. My computer 
is a Compaq Deskpro/i 486DX2-66 with 4 Megas, and a Compaq tape drive.

I had already installed SCO, and it had to be defined as a Wangtek type 
to work correctly.

When installing freeBSD I read perfectly the instructions: I loaded a 
tape on the drive, I disabled all the hardware I didn't have, and I 
verified there were no conflicts with other hardware, I even defined the 
drq correctly to the one used by the tape (3).

As a result the tape drive was recognized at boot time, it even moved, 
but when I wanted to define the Media a message said the program didn't 
detect any tape drive.

It has to be a bug, I mean, I tried all the posibilities to ensure 
everything was configured right!

thanks,

Pedro.

By the way, very pretty installation!
