Message-ID: <CtIDz0.GKC@world.std.com> Organization: The World Public Access UNIX, Brookline, MA X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Date: Mon, 25 Jul 1994 18:28:11 GMT Lines: 41 Subject: Help setting up dat drive Newsgroups: comp.periphs.scsi Organization: The World Public Access UNIX, Brookline, MA Summary: Keywords: Hi all, I'm trying to set up a HP35480A scsi dat drive, with a BusLogic747 scsi controller on a FreeBSD 1.1r operating system. The scsi id on the drive is 1. I used the "MAKEDEV st0" command to make the device. The dat drive is one of two devices daisy-chained on the scsi controller. The other device is a disk(which has an id of 0, and terminates the scsi). What follows is what happens when I try to mount it: #mount /dev/nrst0 /mnt (a character device) /dev/nrst0 on /mnt: Block device required And this is what happens when I try to use st on it. #st -f /dev/nrst0 status 1 /dev/nrst0: Device not configured I'm not sure what I missing, so any help, or list of steps needed, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance joet
