Re: [newbie] LS120 MB floppy
I use an LS-120 and which is my master on my second IDE controller. I have a directory /mnt/ls120 so the command to mount the drive is "mount /dev/hdc /mnt/ls120" (minus the quotes). I hope this helps Regards Dan - Original Message - From: "Patrick Dyer" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 01, 2000 3:05 PM Subject: [newbie] LS120 MB floppy I need some help here.

When linux is booting it seem to recognize the drive.

Re: [newbie] LS120 MB floppy
Patricktype dmesg in a console window and then look for a line in the output like the one below: hda: LS-120 CSMO 05 UHD Floppy, ATAPI FLOPPY drive My LS-120, in the above, is identified as hda (that's because it's the master device on the primary IDE controller). Yours may be something different, but it's not likely to be fd0 since an LS-120 is not normally connected to the floppy controller. Anyway use this info to reconfigure your fstab file and your mount command line. Accomplishing that should get your LS-120 working. Alan Patrick Dyer wrote: I need some help here.

Please post the section of your /etc/fstab which contains the reference to the floppy drive so we can verify that you have it configured correctly. Do you have the filesystem set to "auto" or do you have a duplicate entry? If the latter is true, try removing the extra line in your fstab. John
