I've just installed a Colorado Jumbo 1400 Drive on my Gateway P4D 66
system, and it runs fine under MS-DOS, but I can't get started under
the FreeBSD (1.1.5.1). It's plugged directly into the floppy cable
(Note I have only one floppy drive, fd0). I editted the config file
in the obvious way:
controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr
disk fd0 at fdc0 drive 0
disk fd1 at fdc0 drive 1
tape ft0 at fdc0 drive 2
and rebuilt, but although the tape drive chirps at startup, I don't
get any entry in the log saying it's been located, and neither ftinfo
or ft produce any useful behaviour.
Any suggestions?
