FreeBSD 4.8

I have this cool little gizmo that reads a bunch of different
media formats, plugs into an IDE channel, and at least loads the kernel
from the device, but can't mount root.

I have atapifd in the kernel, but the messages I get are:

afd0: MODE_SENSE_BIG - ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x24 ascq=0x00 error=0x04
afd0: MODE_SENSE_BIG - ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x24 ascq=0x00 error=0x04
afd0: MODE_SENSE_BIG - ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x24 ascq=0x00 error=0x04

afd0: MODE_SENSE_BIG - ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x24 ascq=0x00 error=0x04
afd0: <IOMEGA ZIP 100 like IICA-1/01-12-17> floppy device - NO DRIVER!


However, as I said, it's able to get to the "mountroot" phase of booting,
so I'm thinking it's pretty darn close to working.

Any ideas on anythign I can try to make this work?  It mounts in a floppy
bay, so makes the port external, which is nice, going to use it in a little
router box.

Any ideas/tips appreciated.
