Subject: 386bsd doesn't recognize my (non-scsi) tape

386bsd doesn't recognize my tape drive on bootup, nor does it
find it when I access /dev/rwt0.  The table in the install notes
specify 0x300, irq 5, drq 1, while SCO Unix reports 0x338-0x33c,
irq 5, drq 1.

This is a standard wangtek, QIC-36 interface drive, and the standard
wangtek QIC-36 interface.  I don't have a manual for the board or
drive, and I haven't pulled it to look for jumpers yet.

Does anyone know if I can jumper the board to work off of 0x300?
Or can someone supply me with a kernel that expects the tape drive
at 0x338?

Second Problem:
I have searched hard yet, but I don't think my second disk has been
recognized.  I am using cgd's 'newbootables'.  Bootup reports a wd0,
but not a wd1.  Both drives are Maxtor MFM hanging off of the same
controller card.
