Hi, everyone!
I have a Sun Ultra 10 workstation which came with Solaris 7 preinstalled, but there is not much I can do with Solaris 7 because finding any usable software for this system is a real pain. So I decided to give FreeBSD a try since Ultra 10 was in the list of supported platforms. The problem is that I cannot access the floppy drive. There's no special file for FDD like /dev/fd0 or something.
It appeared that floppy drive support was disabled in GENERIC kernel config. I tried to rebuild the kernel with device fdcline uncommented, but an error occurred saying that "device fdc is unknown". Then I uncommented device atapifd; successfully rebuilt and reinstalled the kernel, but still no special file for FDD.
Is there anything I can do to make the floppy drive work?
Thanks!
