I'm using FreeBSD-1.0.2 with a MIO-550 I/O Board and a NEC P2200
Pinwriter.
I have modified my kernel config the following way:
----------8<----------
[...]
controller isa0
device lpa0 at isa? port "IO_LPT1" tty
device lpa1 at isa? port "IO_LPT2" tty
device lpt0 at isa? port "IO_LPT3" tty irq 7 vector lptintr
[...]
---------->8----------
Upon startup, my system shows the following message:
----------8<----------
FreeBSD 1.0.2 (CHANNELZ) #0: Fri Mar 25 15:29:48 MET 1994
root@channelz:/usr/src/sys/compile/CHANNELZ
CPU: i386DX (386-class CPU)
real mem = 8646656
avail mem = 7303168
using 134 buffers containing 1097728 bytes of memory
Probing for devices on the ISA bus:
lpa0 not found at 0x378
lpa1 not found at 0x278
lpt0 not found at 0x3bc
[...]
---------->8----------
The manual says that my parallel port is located either at 378 or 278.
Is there anything else to do to configure the printer?
P.S.: After booting, my printer doesn't respond to any front panel
key?
