I have a Toshiba Libretto 100ct with the standard pcmcia external floppy drive. I am running FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE. I have recompiled my kernel, as per the instructions regarding the libretto floppy as follows: (original fdc0 line commented out) device fdc0 device fd0 at fdc0 drive 0 I have no other fd0/1/2 or fdc0/1/2 device lines in my kernel - the two above are the only two lines in my kernel config relating to floppy drives. ----- So I boot, and after completing boot, I plug in the floppy into pcmcia slot 1 (as opposed to slot 0, which is empty). I get the following messages: /kernel: fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3 then I get the: driver allocation failed for Y-E DATA(External FDD): Device not configured (I get both of those 2 or 3 times) ----- So, I looked in /dev and noticed there was no `fdc0` and thought maybe that was the problem, but ther is no way to make fdc0 with MAKEDEV, so I did: `mknod fdc0 c 9 0` (I just made it match the major/minors of /dev/fd0) Well that didn't fix anything. So I'm stuck. My question is, if the comments in GENERIC on configuring the kernel are not enough to get the ext. floppy to work on a libretto, what else do I need to do ? A related question is, should I delete the fdc0 that I mknod'd ? If so, how am I supposed to get fdc0 when it is not in MAKEDEV and doesn't come by default in freeBSD 4.4-RELEASE ? Any help is appreciated - I desperately need to get this floppy drive working with this libretto as soon as possible to save some data that I can't leave on a floppy... thanks!
