I am trying to mount my new tape drive under FreeBSD, and am having no luck at all. I've already configured and recompiled my kernel (with support for ft0 on drive 1.) Rebooting and running ft (floppy based tape control (8)), replies with confucius:290] ft /dev/rft0: Device not configured mounting has no effect, either (as you can see, I'm a little new at this): confucius:295] mount /dev/rft0 /tape /dev/rft0 on /tape: Block device required Is that the right device? What am I doing wrong? Better yet, what am I doing right? Thank you in advance, -sean.
