You probably need to do a 'modprobe ide-floppy'. I actually tried
putting 'hdc=ide-floppy' on the append line in lilo, but that didn't
work for me. I don't use it very often, so I didn't play with it
anymore; I just do the modprobe whenever I need floppy access.

hi,
have a little problem in understanding the following:
have an LS-120 drive.
in dmesg I can see it as a hdc, which would be correct. In the file
/etc/fstab I can see again as an entry : floppy on /dev/hdc ... options
i.e.
but in /dev I doesn't have an entry hdc - all what I can see here are :
hda up to hda11, hdb up to hdb6 and hdd which also have a correct
entry to /dev/cdrom (is a link;)
think for this reason I see a closed floppy in konqueror or nautilus.
does anyone know, how I can do the trick, that the LS-120 can be used
as a floppy, mounted on /dev/hdc ?
thanks for your ideas and helps
bye hans
You might want to try accessing it with /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/part.
