Hi,
I recently = purchased the 4-CD version of FreeBSD 2.2.6 from Walnut Creek CD-ROM. = It installs great and everything but my Backup Tape drive doesn't work. = I have posted the question on comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc a couple of = times but couldn't get an answer, you guys are my last = hope.

OK the tape drive = is actually CTT8000 Internal IDE Minicartridge drive by = "Seagate" not CONNER with 4GB native and 8GB compressed = capability. It is connected to the primary IDE controller along with = the CD-ROM (both on the IDE port via 1 cable). I have SCSI hard drives. = When the machine boots up it actually sees the drive and = echos:

wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 = irq 14on isa=20
wdc0: unit = 0(atapi): <FX820s/g01>, removeable, intr,dma,iordis
wdc0: unit = 1(atapi):<CONNER CTT8000-A/2.0.7>, removeble, accel, = iordis
wdc0: ATAPI = streaming tapes not supported yet =
OK so you see it recognizes the = drive as a CONNER drive not Seagate surprisingly with the right model # = and at the end it says that it is not supported yet, what does that = mean ? please don't tell me that I cannot use it with FreeBSD. =

I tried doing a dump to /dev/wdc0 but = it said no such device then I tried to do a MAKEDEV wdc0 and it said = something about bad super block. I am lost and frustrated please help ! = I'm not a unix expert so please be clear on the instructions and don't = tell me to write my own driver either cause I know I cannot do it :) =

The second problem is with the new = Quantum Atlas II 4.5 GB SCSI-3 drive that I'm using with an 80 to 68 = pins adapter. I have the FreeBSD OS on a 2.1 GB drive and I mount the = 4.5GB on /u02 after creating a file system (single slice) for the full = capacity of the drive. Then when I do a cd /u02 it says u02 is not a = directory, then I went to /stand/sysinstall and finally got it to mount = but when I tried to copy /var to /u02 it said something like = "parity write error" and bunch of other errors rolled off of the = screen among which there were several retries. Finally, when I looked = in the /u02 it seemed like some of the stuff was actually copied.  = Any ideas what's going on ? it works fine under DOS. I doubt I have = create small slices of 2GB like DOS or do I ?

Thanks for your time and patience, I = say patience cause I know you probably get thousands of emails from = clueless people like me asking stupid questions but believe me I tried = all of my resources before writing to you.

Thanks again
Russell
