 Posted: Wed Nov 01, 2006 1:20 pm Post subject: can't mount floppy |
 |
|
when I try to mount my floppy, I get:
| Code: |
# mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
mount: special device /dev/fd0 does not exist
|
I could not find any /dev/fd0 file so I opened the map /dev/fd and looked what was in there, I assumed my floppy was /dev/fd/0 and tried that:
| Code: |
# mount -t vfat /dev/fd/0 /mnt/floppy
mount: /dev/fd/0 is not a block device
|
any idea what my floppy drive can be?

blommethomas,
Your kernel is missing floppy support, or its made as a module but not loaded.
Do if theres no error, your /dev/fd0 should have been created and mounting will work.
| Code: | $ grep FD /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=m
# CONFIG_FDDI is not set |
shows my CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=m as a kernel module
