.Sh NAME

|
|
.Nd ATAPI floppy driver (LS-120 floppy driver)
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd options ATAPI
|
|
.Cd options ATAPI_STATIC
|
|
.Cd device wfd0
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for
|
|
.Em ATAPI
|
|
floppy disks, typically LS-120 style 120mb/1.4mb floppy drives.
|
|
In general the interfaces are similar to those described by
|
|
.Xr wd 4
|
|
.Xr sd 4
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr od 4 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
As the IDE controllers are probed during boot, the
|
|
.Em IDE
|
|
buses are scanned for devices. Any devices found which answered as
|
|
.Sq Em Floppy
|
|
and
|
|
.Sq Em removable
|
|
type device will be attached to the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver.
|
|
The first device found will be attached as
|
|
.Em wfd0
|
|
and the next,
|
|
.Em wfd0 ,
|
|
and so on.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When used with a LS-120 drive, this driver will read/write the following
|
|
types of floppy disk:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 1.25MB -compact
|
|
.It 120mb
|
|
.It 1.44mb
|
|
.It 1.25mb (PC-9801 series format)
|
|
.It 1.2mb
|
|
.It 720kb
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh PARTITIONING
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver allows the disk to have two levels of partitioning.
|
|
One layer, called the
|
|
.Dq slice layer ,
|
|
is used to separate the
|
|
.Tn FreeBSD
|
|
areas of the disk from areas used by other operating systems.
|
|
The second layer is the native
|
|
.Bx 4.4
|
|
partitioning scheme,
|
|
.Xr disklabel 5 ,
|
|
which is used to subdivide the
|
|
.Tn FreeBSD
|
|
slices into areas for individual filesystems.
|
|
For more information, see
|
|
.Xr fdisk 8
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr disklabel 8 ,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If an uninitialized disk is opened, the slice table will be
|
|
initialized with a fictitious
|
|
.Tn FreeBSD
|
|
slice spanning the entire disk. Similarly, if an uninitialized
|
|
(or
|
|
.No non- Ns Tn FreeBSD )
|
|
slice is opened, its disklabel will be initialized with parameters
|
|
returned by the drive and a single
|
|
.Sq Li c
|
|
partition encompassing the entire slice.
|
|
.Sh KERNEL CONFIGURATION
|
|
Only one
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device is necessary in the config file; data structures are dynamically
|
|
allocated as disks are found on the
|
|
.Tn IDE
|
|
buses.
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
This driver is attached to the
|
|
.Xr wdc 4
|
|
IDE/ATAPI disk controller driver. It will not work unless
|
|
IDE controllers have been configured and enabled in the kernel.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Floppy formatting is not yet supported.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This driver is still a beta version.
|
|

|
|
