mounting USB floppy during first stage of RHEL installation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello
  I am posting this question as it is during first stage of install time( anaconda) i need to mount the USB floppy diskette.
I  want to mount the usb-floppy during install time when UDEV is not active yet. I am doing this immediately after loading the 'USB Mass storage driver for linux" during install time.   After i insert USB drive. In dmesg i see  "SCSI device sda .." "attached scsi removable disk at  scsi1"

I  don't see any /dev/sda  though.  And so i can't mount this USB drive.   

I tried to run mknod manually to create /dev/sda but  i had no idea what major number it should be.

Also  after inserting  SUB the /proc/devices does'nt change.  

 Please provide some ideas.  I want to access that USB  as a file system during  the "First stage of installation of linux distributions"

thanks
