My kernel compiles fail because

Let me guess. You removed from your kernel configuration file because you don't have a math co-processor, right? Wrong! :-) The Interrupt conflicts with multi-port serial code.

# # Multiport high-speed serial line - 16550 UARTS # device sio2 at isa? port 0x2a0 tty irq 5 flags 0x501 vector siointr device sio3 at isa? port 0x2a8 tty flags 0x501 vector siointr device sio4 at isa? port 0x2b0 tty flags 0x501 vector siointr device sio5 at isa? port 0x2b8 tty flags 0x501 vector siointr How do I enable support for QIC-40/80 drives?

You need to uncomment the following line in the generic config file (or add it to your config file), add a `` line and recompile. controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 flags 0x1 vector fdintr disk fd0 at fdc0 drive 0 ^^^^^^^^^ disk fd1 at fdc0 drive 1 #tape ft0 at fdc0 drive 2 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Next, you create a device called /dev/ft0 by going into /dev and run the following command: sh ./MAKEDEV ft0

for the first device. You will have a device called /dev/ft0, which you can write to through a special program to manage it called `` for further details.
