I'm tried a variety of things, and haven't met with much success. If
I put the following in the kernel config file:
controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr
disk fd0 at fdc0 drive 0
tape ft0 at fdc0 drive 1
tape ft1 at fdc0 drive 2
then I get the following at boot time:
FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE #4: Mon Jan 30 17:34:40 PST 1995
CPU: i486DX (486-class CPU) Id = 0x435 Origin = "GenuineIntel"
...
fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa
fdc0: [0: fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in] [1: fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in]
I have tried whacking /sys/i386/isa/fd.c to make DRVS_PER_CTLR 1;
doing that makes the floppy drive make really strange noises shortly
after it has been attached and the "[0: fd0:..." message has been
displayed.
System details:
* the tape drive is a Conner (DC-2000/QIC-Wide/whatever) configured
for "soft select"
* the controller is part of a S1372 IDE controller
Oh, as a further note, accessing /dev/rfd1 after the system has come
up the way I've described causes a reboot *without* any sort of panic.
Any suggestions on how I can get to my tape drive would be appreciated
-- I'd *really* like to back this thing up!
