Hello All:
I just installed FreeBSD 5.1 as a fresh install and there is something weird going on with my floppy drive.
The directory structure that was created looks like this...
/dev/df/0
/dev/df/1
/dev/df/2
This is what is showing up in dmesg...
fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3
fdc0: cannot reserve I/O port range 6 ports
However this is not /dev/fdc0 file.
If I try to mount /dev/df/0 this is what I get...
mount /dev/fd/0 /floppy
mount: /dev/fd/0: Block device required
I've done searches on the web and can see that other people have had the same problem but I haven't seen a fix. Can anybody help me?
Thanks!
