Ok, here's my dumb question of the week (might have more next week).
Does SL 4.4 not support floppy drives?
Reason I ask is I have an Intel Server System SR1500AL (mother board
is Intel Server Board S5000PAL), 1U rack mount, that came with two
internal disks (set up to be RAID 1, mirrored), a CDR

I indeed does support floppy drives.
You should check that your bios has the floppy enabled. Sometimes the
floppy will show as a scsi devic

In my PIII system, SL 4.4 x86 supports my 1.44 MB floppy disk drive.
Thanks Connie!
In the bios, under "Advanced", I see:

Is the floppy internal? If so, it can't be USB. Also, it can't be ATA
(Hard Drives and CD-ROM drives only). You're boot options also don't
show a floppy. It is common to have more boot devices than can fit in
the list, so does it give you the option to change the devices?

Google of TEAC FD-05PUB shows it as a USB Floppy drive. So as another
has posted, probably need to check for a SCSI device name. I haven't
used one so don't kn

If by "internal" you mean that it's part of the system and not attached

Thanks again Connie!
I'll check the [Auto] setting on Monday and see if it's got an [Enabled]
setting. That may do it
But, given that I may just not be able to use the floppy, I still don't
understand how you get a driver .img file onto a cd-r. After all, systems

Generally speaking, if its internal, its not USB. I should have been
a little more political with that statement. :-) I would check to see
if you can say "boot from floppy" either in the bios, or at an F-Key
menu or something. Since it is USB, you might be able to say "boot
from usb device"

Been there...
I find the drive to keep mashing the keyboard and figure it out is
pretty strong. Then I beat my head against the wall when 5

Another thought...
I need to add the Intel RAID driver at install
time and Anaconda is only giving me the choice of sda (I'm assuming
that's the hard disk) or hdb (is that the CDROM drive?) at the "Driver
Disk Source" page.
Did you try the /dev/sda
