Hi,
I've recently installed NetBSD-0.9 at home and it's working just fine
execpt for one thing...: the printer port doesn't show when I boot up.
Setup : 486-DX33 ISA bus
8 megs
Adaptec 1542-cf
Quantum SCSI HD (netbsd only)
IDE card (cheap)
Quantum IDE HD (dos only)
ATI DXL 1024
Sound Blaster
Epson FX-85
My SCSI Hdrive runs only on NetBSD and my IDE Hdrive only on dos; so
so I just install/uninstall my IDE Hdrive in BIOS to use whatever OS
I need...
There is no conflict on port adresses or IRQ ...Everything is where
it's expected to be on a standard ISA bus...
My printer port sits at 378H as define by IO_LPT1 and is using IRQ7.
The probe doesn't seem to see that there is printer attached. I've
change the port address to 278H on the IDE card and then in the GENERICAHA
configuration to match this address (IO_LPT2), recompile the kernel but
with no luck...
I've tried different lpa* and lpt* device but none of these configuration
helped solving the problem....
I've switch IDE card with one I know is compatible with NetBSD, still
no luck...
I'm totally clueless to what I'm supposed to do next,even switching all
the cards on different slots didn't change a thing...even removing my
Sound Blaster didn't help...
If someone out there have any idea/tip/advice/hint/rumors
on what's going on....
Please respond ... Lots of work coming up...
