I am trying to connect an LPT Iomega DittoMax to my Freebsd 4.1s box. I have the following settings in my kernel config file: device ppc0 at isa? irq 7 device ppbus # Parallel port bus (required) device lpt # Printer device vpo device scbus #base SCSI code device da #SCSI direct access devices (aka disks) as per http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/zip-drive/x40.html but when my kernel loades, dmegs |grep vpo doesnt return any results. Neither does lpt, nor can i find anything related to irq 7 in messages. During the post-bios phase i can see the bios detects LPT port (which is setup in bios to be on irq 7 io387), so i believe there is nothing wrong with my lpt on hardware level. Can someone point to the right direction on what i am missing for lpt to work correctly? Also i noticed that during boot i have a bunch of these messages: No such device: sn0 Invalid command or syntax. Type `?' for help. config> di lnc0 No such device: lnc0 Invalid command or syntax. Type `?' for help. config> di le0 No such device: le0 Invalid command or syntax. Type `?' for help. config> di ie0 No such device: ie0 Invalid command or syntax. Type `?' for help. config> di fe0 No such device: fe0 which i traced to /boot/kern.conf , which has thes contest: di pcic0 di ppc0 di sn0 di lnc0 di le0 di ie0 di fe0 di cs0 di bt0 di aic0 di aha0 di adv0 q i dont know what its doign there, but i belive its a default file (since i didnt create it). I didnt find anything about kern.conf on Freebsd site, or anything regarding di. can someone give me a hint on whats going on there? thx a lot for your help.
