Re: No floppy device in FC5

A while back I ran into a similar problem with my floppy drive, there was not way to mount
to /dev/fd0... until I did this command:

       "floppy --create > /etc/floppy"

the file created contains only one line:
      "floppy A     /dev/fd0"

then I edited my fstab with this line:
      "/dev/fd0   /mnt/floppy   auto   noauto, owner   0   0"

after this, using KDE, I can mount/unmount the floppy as any user:
      "mount /dev/fd0" or "unmont /dev/d0"

the floppy is not automatically mounted/unmounted.

Yes, it works fine under windows.  BTW, the /var/adm/messages file reports:

kernel: floppy0: no floppy controllers found

SO I guess FC5 just can't see the device???
