I got a 4gig Seagate Travan IDE ATAPI tape drive recently I am running
FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE it detects it on boot as wdc1 the IDE channel its on
so I compiled the kernel with this option:

device          wst0            #Tape Drive

Like it said in the LINT file, so then on reboot I get:

wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa
wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): <Seagate STT8000A/5.44>, removable, accel, dma, iordis
wst0: Drive empty, readonly, reverse, qfa, ecc, 512b
wst0: Max speed=600Kb/s, Transfer limit=52 blocks, Buffer size=728 blocks

Then I goto /dev/ there is no entry for it ./MAKEDEV wont make the entry
is this tape drive compatible with FreeBSD 3.3? or am i missing a step?

Any suggestions i dont want to switch back to linux.



Thanks

Ryan Troy
