To all: Before I start moving cables around, I wonder if anyone has a short answer for this question: I configured my kernel aka the instructions in the FAQ (release 2.2.1) for my ole' iomega qic-80 floppy tape drive--in fact, I tried several configurations. No sign that the drive is or isn't being recognized at bootup. The same thing (doesn't) happen with the 2.2.1 boot.flp. As far as I know, the qic-80 drive is connected in the usual way to fdc0 via a tee-cable. It works fine in MS Windows. Appended is my kernel configuration file and demsg output--note that I have only one 3.5 in. floppy, and I have tried designating the tape drive as both "drive 1" and "drive 2." For no good reason, I stripped all unused devices from the config file instead of just commenting them out--this is really my complete kernel configuration file, named ALWANKERNEL. Any help would be appreciated!--didn't see anything quite relevant in the archives. This is the second time I've posted this message to questions@freebsd.org--if no one knows the answer, my apologies for the repost. It occurs to me, maybe the tape drive isn't detected as a device at boot-up, or maybe it should be configured as drive 2 on the fdc0 controller, since I only have one floppy drive. Trying to mount the tape drive (mount /dev/ft0 /mnt) gives me a "device not configured" message. I've made the device in /dev.
