Those were Linux-specific; /dev/fd0.h1440 was a typical entry for the "A: drive". :-) > Could be kind of tricky to figure that out. ARe these device nodes > to be generated by fdcontrol? No, the existing device node /dev/fd0 can be configured using fdcontrol, especially the -s flag is to be mentioned. It's just important that the setting applies to something the controller and the drive can actually implement (like an FM-encoded disk in a MFM-only capable drive). The EXAMPLES section of "man fdcontrol" has a nice summary. > The once was /dev/MAKEDEV for this. FreeBSD since... I think somewhere in v5... started generating device nodes dynamically, so MAKEDEV is no longer needed. > I’ll be two days off net now. See you on Monday.
