OK, I know someone out there's done this, so 'splain to me how I'm going
wrong here.
I have a parallel port ZIP drive (insert groans here), and I want to use
it. Plus, I have some stuff on ZIP disk I need. So, I finally got
motivated enough to through the ppbus stuff into my kernel and try to get
it working. Now, it detects the parallel port chipset fine, identifys the
SCSI interface, but I can't threaten or beg my ZIP drive to be probed.
Here's some relevant snips from dmesg: I've tried about 20 different
permutations of the kernel config...
FreeBSD 2.2.6-STABLE #0: Mon Mar 30 18:43:12 CST 1998
fullermd@shell.futuresouth.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/MORTIS
ppc0 at 0x378 irq 7 on isa
ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in ECP+EPP mode (EPP 1.9)
ppi0: <generic parallel i/o> on ppbus 0
nlpt0: <generic printer> on ppbus 0
nlpt0: Interrupt-driven port
vpo0: <Adaptec aic7110 scsi> on ppbus 0
All I get, under any of the configs I tried, is nothing:
{~} mortis:{51} %fdisk /dev/sd0
Cannot open disk /dev/sd0 (Device not configured)
{~} mortis:{52} %
Any suggestions?
