Dear Soren, You need this option in 3.0, I assume its the same for 3.1 # IDE tape driver - requires wdc controller and ATAPI option device wst0 A kernel with this compiled in will give you boot messages like: wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): , removable, accel, dma, iordis wst0: Drive empty, readonly, reverse, qfa, ecc, 512b wst0: Max speed=600Kb/s, Transfer limit=52 blocks, Buffer size=728 blocks regards, Greg -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 3237 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
