Floppy + CD-Rom + Lan card installation with VAIO notebook
Hi,
I installed redhat 7.2 on my VAIO 505 notebook (CD-Rom and Floppy are external). After installation, I found that there is nothing under the /mnt directory. I cannot mount a floppy nor a CD-Rom. How can I let it check the external floppy and CD-rom? Also, I used Buffalo Lan card and Lucent Wireless lan card. It brought up the irlan0 during start up. However, there is only lo 127.0.0.1 when I typed ifconfig command. How can I install the lan card driver as well? Thanks for any suggestion. gogo :Pengy: |
Do you have /floppy and /cdrom directories? Check your /etc/fstab for entries like the ones above. Post it here if you need more help.

No floppy dir but I made one under /mnt. Now, I found that I cannot mount the floppy drive (can read cdrom). How can I let it check the external floppy?
I added the following line in /etc/fstab and reboot it: /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0 and type the command: mount /dev/fd0 It returned that: Special device /dev/fd0 not found. Then, I created a dir /mnt/floppy and typed : mount /dev/fd0 -t auto -o owner /mnt/floppy It returned that it was an unknown device. My floppy drive is USB plug-in device. Will it cause by this factor? So, I cannot mount the floppy drive? Also, I used Buffalo Lan card and Lucent Wireless lan card. It brought up the irlan0 during start up. However, there is only lo 127.0.0.1 when I typed ifconfig command. How can I install the lan card driver as well (Both drivers are in floppy disks)? Thanks for your kind help. gogo |
