Subject:   Installation of SCSI Tape device
Message-ID:  <9701222049.AA11277@corky>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
We are trying (without success) to install the following equipment in
our FreeBSD machine:

	- adaptec AHA-2940 Ultra wide PCI-to-UltraSCSI Adapter

	- HP SureStore model 5000i tape  (channel 3 on SCSI device)

	- NEC CD ROM (channel 6 on the SCSI device)

Per the 'man' page /usr/share/man/ahc.4, I added the following lines 
to out kernal:

	controller ahc0
	controller scbus0
	device st0
	device cd0

and executed:

	# make depend
	# make
	# make install

During the compilation I can see it including the SCSI device driver
code but when the machine is booted there is no mention of it being
installed and we cannot access the devices.

The following devices were set up in the /dev directory with the
MAKEDEV command:

# ls *st*
erst0           nrst0           rst0            rst0.ctl        stderr
erst0.0         nrst0.0         rst0.0          st0ctl.0        stdin
erst0.1         nrst0.1         rst0.1          st0ctl.1        stdout
erst0.2         nrst0.2         rst0.2          st0ctl.2
erst0.3         nrst0.3         rst0.3          st0ctl.3

# ls cd*
cd0a    cd0c

What am I doing wrong or leaving out?  How can I gain access to the SCSI
devices?  I would appreciate any help you can give.
