[comp.unix.xenix] Can't get Archive XL 40MB to work - Xenix286

todd@stiatl.UUCP (Todd Merriman) (01/26/89)

I can't get my new Archive XL 40M to work with Xenix-286 2.2.3.
After doing

	/etc/mkdev tape

/dev/rctmini appeared as a new device.  Running sysadmin, selecting
40M mini-cartridge drive produces:

	backing up /dev/rroot to /dev/rctmini
	backup: cannot create /dev/rctmini

I am logged-in as root.  The drive is a 5540, "for use with 1.2MB
compatible floppy controller."

For what it is worth, I had the same problem ... but have not found
the time to figure it out.
