Subject: why does cat > /dev/lpt0 return Device not configured?

I am running 1.0 on a 486DX33.  The address of LPT1 is the common $378, and
the lpt0 device is configured into the kernel.  I have built and booted from
the new kernel but attempts to use the /dev/lpt0 and /dev/lpa0 devices via
cat(1) return "Device not configured".  Attempts to use them via lpd(8)
result in wedged daemons.  Am I missing something obvious?  From the man page
for the lpt/lpa device driver, even if LPT1 is not using irq7 wouldn't the
lpa (polled) flavor work?  Thanks for any and all help!
