Did you put:
options MSDOSFS
in your kernel config file, then:
config MACHINENAME
cd ../compile/MACHINENAME*
make clean # The make clean is important because 'make depend' won't catch
# everything since an 'option' is the same as a "#define".
make
install kernel, reboot.
: Finally, one (more) quick question: How do you use /dev/audio?
: sndtool or something? cat'ing directly doesn't cut it :)
Did you configure your soundblaster in like so:
device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1
You'll probably want to do that at the same time that you do the MSDOSFS.
Warning, there's a slight buglet in the bsd_audio driver that I haven't
quite found. You'll notice the bug when after catting a few files to
/dev/audio, one of your 'cat's will click the speaker on, then block,
and you won't be able to kill it. It gets stuck in a tsleep() and just
sits there.
There; I've done my good deed for the day.
