I have a Mountain tape backup...connected to me floppy...and would like to use it in my 2.2.2 FreeBSD box...problem..on bootup it is not reconized...I will check the connnection but believe they are right...one thing that I have not been able to do before installing the tape drive is to use the floppy...it is not listed in fstab and when I try to mount it I get a block device not found error... I have looked in the html pages for some help with the tape drive I would like to list it in the fstab file so that it is available without mounting it...all the time...same for the floppy... all suggestion are welcome... dave
