I have reviewed the dmesg log and find the floppy controller has been detected. I have not been able to get the floppy drive detected/running nor have I been able to use MAKEDEV or mknod as the /dev/ directory will not permit me to write. I have su'ed to root and removed write restrictions to /dev/ via chmod u=rwx or 777 and while the permissions do change I still cannot write to /dev/ to create the floppy devices. I get the error "Operation not supported". My only other thought is to compile the device into the kernel but since I have never created a custom kernel I am not sure if this is my problem or the correct solution. Has anyone seen this problem? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
