you need 3 (three!) modules. ftape is the floppy tape
(QIC117-driver), zftape is the file system interface and
ftape-internal, what I am missing, is the driver to the
hardware interface. ftape-internal is the driver for 'real'
floppy controllers like internal FDC, FC-20 and others.
Parallel port devices need other modules in addition to ftape
and zftape.
Hope this helps.
BTW you can configure all theses things like IRQ, DMA, IO
port during run time. /etc/conf.modules and kerneld is your
friend.

AFAIK you should use the raw device /dev/rawft0.
