I have a few questions:
1) Has anyone gotten a printer to work under 386bsd via the
parallel port? The lpt.c driver does not appear to be
compiled into the kernel. How do i configure this driver
into the kernel? And what are the major and minor number for
the device?
2) I have a 486 machine which ofcourse has the onboard FPU. I
happened to be watching the machine compiling the kernel,
and knowticed that the math emulator was beeing compiled
into the kernel. Is this preventable? And if so, how do
I do that?
3) How do I find out if the system is using a swap partition?
I did disklabel the drive with a new swap (wd0b) with a
reasonable size, but how do i know it is beeing used?
4) I got the code to mount dos filesystems. How do I mount the
dos partition on my H-Drive?
My appologies if any of this can be found in FAQ, I have Aug version of it.
Thanks...
