Date: 21 Jul 1995 07:56:43 GMT Organization: Underhalls Lines: 12 Message-ID: <3unmjr$gh0@nnrp4.primenet.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: usr2.primenet.com Ok, I went out and got me a tape backup (a little one * QIC-80 * of course) and recompiled the kernel for tape support. Problem is when I do a kernel -c boot I don't see ft0 or rft0 or anything remotely like it. Figuring I am not suppose to see it then, I go directly into the system and try the program 'ft'. No go... tells me device not configured. This goes for rft0 and ft0. So, what do I do to configure a device? Sorry if this is a basic question, but I can't seem to locate anything related in the FAQ. Thanks in advance, Dennis Anfield
