I have a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop. It has 2 modular bays in front. I recently bought a modular cdrw and powered down the device, then removed the floppy and put it in that modular bay. When I rebooted the system locked up trying to mount a vfat directory (the floppy drive). To get it to work, I had to # the floppy drive statement in fstab.
Is this something that can be solved by devfs? If devfs does not find the drive then it does not try and mount it through fstab.... or maybe rebuild removeables (such as floppy, cdroms, etc) each reboot? How else can this problem be resolved? ===== SI Reasoning [EMAIL PROTECTED] "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
