Hi Guys

Bit of a problem and can't find any clear answer on Google. I'm running SUSE 9.1 and just changed my motherboard. After installation I did a clean install, mistake I made was to forget to connect the floppy wiring, hence no floppy drive is showing up. It's connected now!! Is there a way I can install the floppy without having to do another complete install of the OS?

Cheers

post your /etc/fstab

The floppy was supposed to be working with no special install procedure.
You can try to test it with the dd command:
dd if=/somefile of=/dev/fd0
If it works, the floppy is working.

Hi Foo

Below is contents of fstab

Hi all

Anybody got any ideas how I can overcome this problem?

Cheers

Try using YAST, when I get home tonigth I will post my fstab.

This may help :-
