fstab/modules.conf and floppy drive

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

 



Hi,

First, thanks to all those who gave me information about the way to use
a floppy drive with a MB Asus P4T-F. After recompiling the kernel, I
loaded it as a module, and it is usable after insmod and mount it
manually.

I am looking now to finish the job.

/etc/fstab keeps being cleaned (the /dev/fd0 line), as the floppy is not
loaded as a module at boot.

I added a line in /etc/modules.conf with no success :

in fstab :
/dev/fd0    /mnt/floppy     auto    noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

in modules.conf:
alias char-major-2 floppy0

Is it correct ?

It should be possible, even with floppy loaded as a module, to have a
correct fstab/mtab and a modules.conf who does the its job , no ? 

I would just like to see this floppy icon on the desktop and the mouse
menu to mount/umount the floppy.

Any help appreciated ... Thanks

Philippe
