Sorry not quite that simple. Debian has no ftape device in /dev. You need to create the ftape device in /dev using a command like that below.
mknod -m 660 /dev/rft0 c 27 0 mknod -m 660 /dev/nrft0 c 27 4 I used this ages ago - as far as i am aware ftape and zftape are the some thing now. -----Original Message----- From: Rus Foster [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 22 November 2002 7:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ftape Hi All, HAs anyone succesfully managed to install ftape?

Contact the module supplier for assistance, only they can help you. I've tried recomiling but I guess I'm missing something. I'm using 2.4.19-xfs. Any ideas?
