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!
