I have finally been able to compile the kernel source.  I retrieved
the newer kernel source from sun-lamp along with the new config.
I have a question though.  Since I placed lpa0 in the config file
and compiled the kernel, shouldn't I get a lpa0 message when it
determines what is attached to my machine?  I have a lpt port, 
and it works fine under DOS.  Also, when I run MAKEDEV, it 
creates the device, but I get the Device not configured error
messagewhenever I try to write to it.  MAKEDEV creates it as 25,0.  
Should I use a different major,minor???
   Any help would be greatly appreciated.
