Installation guide

2. Boot the system.
3. Insert the PC Card ATA device.
Identifying an Unrecognized Card
If you insert a PC Card ATA device and it isn’t recognized (no special files are
created), use the prtconf command to try to identify the problem.
1. Run the prtconf -D command to see if your pcata card is recognized.
A recognized device will appear at the end of the prtconf -D output. For
example:
# prtconf -D
...
pcic, instance #0 (driver name: pcic)
...
disk, instance #0
2. If pcata does not appear in the prtconf -D output, there is a problem with
the PC Card adapter configuration or with the hardware.
Check to see whether the problem is with the card or the adapter by trying to use
the card on another machine and by seeing if it works on the same machine using
DOS.
Special Files
For PC Card devices, nodes are created in /devices that include the socket number
as one component of a device name that the node refers to. However, the
/prtc/dev names and the names in /dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk do follow the
current convention for ATA devices, which do not encode the socket number in any
part of the name. See the pcata(7D) man page.
Hot-Plugging
If you want to remove the disk, you must unmount the file system.
If you want to create a pcfs file system, use a DOS machine. To mount a pcfs
file system, type:
# mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c#d#p0:c /mnt
For more information, see the pcfs(7FS) and mount(1M) man pages.
