Neither. > In the latter > case it's up to you add an appropriate entry. I don't understand. The boot process creates /dev/hda hdb and fd0 (and hdc when I remove the ide-scsi option in grub) -- and the entries in fstab. > For the first case: Did you > compile your kernel with ide/atapi floppy support? Yes, as a module. In /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r8/kernel/drivers/ide/ there's a file called ide-floppy.o. But it's not in the lsmod list. But what is listed as an... I'll be damned! modprobe ide-floppy, and there's /dev/hdd. mke2fs and cp and ls all work on it, too. Thank you! I was reading that line in dmseg that says > hdd: IOMEGA ZIP 250 ATAPI Floppy, ATAPI FLOPPY drive as saying there are two things: an ATAPI Zip and an ATAPI floppy (and wondering why it was calling the 2 of them hdd). Pesky English. So are you saying I need to add a line for it to fstab? Or should I put something in the inittab or one of the startup scripts to load the module? And do you have any idea why it saw the Zip drive but didn't load the module? > Why two SCSI cards?
