How much memory? I've found unfortunately that the last Blade 100 I had included bugger all memory, a slow hard disk and an ancient graphics card; one could say that the issue lays more with the system vendor and their thinking its 1989 and a 8mb graphics card is considered extravagant.

Yesterday I stuck a floppy into the 3.5 floppy drive; HAL recognized it and mounted it just fine. I even got a pretty icon of a floppy disk on my desktop. When it was time to take the floppy disk out, I right-clicked on the floppy disk icon, selected Unmount volume, and the icon dissapeared. No

Apparently not. So how do I mount a removable media again, after unmounting it? 'rmmount floppy' 'rmmount -l' or 'eject -l' are generally useful for finding out device nicknames. -Artem ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list

Is that a PS/2 flopy drive? Or USB? It's a normal built-in 3.5 floppy disk drive found in older PCs. It is not a USB drive. Smells like a bug... What could I DTrace? Where could I hook myself in? io:: provider? From the command line, I can unmount and remount an usb flash memory stick
