5.25" Floppy disk drive not recognized

[Christoph Kukulies]

Ah, I see what you mean. :) floppy drive in FreeBSD.

There is fdc(4) and fdccontrol and I read about devices (as I recalled myself) named /dev/fdX.NNNN.

Could be kind of tricky to figure that out. ARe these device nodes to be generated by fdcontrol?

The once was /dev/MAKEDEV for this.

I’ll be two days off net now. See you on Monday.
