My second question is about PCFS. I have successfully disklabel'ed my drives
and am able to read, write, delete, etc to my DOS drives. However, in order
to access files below the root directory of a DOS partition, I must first
do an 'ls' on the directory. Is this normal?
Erm. No! I have my own DOS C partition mounted and it works fine, with
none of the symptoms you describe. All I can say is "Hmmmm! DOS!".
My third and final question is about sound support. I have a ProAudioSpectrum
16 and the AdLib portion of the card is not being recognized under FreeBSD.
The splay and str programs I got from FreeBSD.cdrom.com/packages work nicely,
but none of the FM stuff does. I get the message "/dev/sequencer: Device not
configured". I tried doing "cat /dev/sndstat" and got "cat: /dev/sndstat:
Operation not supported by device".
You need to have just snd3 and snd2, from the (more recent!) doc:
Unit numbers are:
1 for Yamaha FM synth
2 for SB/SB Pro DSP
3 for PAS PCM and Midi
4 for GUS
5 for MPU-401
If you have ProAudioSpectrum, uncomment units 3 and 2.
Let me know if you can play any of the midi tunes; I must say at this
point, however, that I do _not_ know if you'll be able to load up the
midi samples in the same way you can the sound blaster! This may very
well take some work. All I have to test with is a SB and a GUS, I
can't say for the PAS and you may very well end up adding such support
yourself! Everything but digital audio is a bit experimental at the
moment! :-(
