Your friend probably needs to load the 'floppy' module manually. To make
the system auto-load it on boot, just add a line containing 'floppy' to
/etc/modules.

I once tore up the wall of my living room trying to find an

My wife's old computer (a tower sitting on the floor in a cabinet)
once wouldn't boot, and for the life of me I couldn't figure out
why. So I bought her a new PC.
A year later, I looked at the old PC at just the correct angle and
saw a disk in the floppy drive.

The problem is, this computer has no floppy drive. I tried a USB drive
and it didn't work. So I can't install because I get to the point where
the install asks for a floppy with the driver, and I can't provide it.

Hi,
Many thanks to all the people who replied to my email about my floppy
drive problem. A quick recap: in my BIOS setup I had configured A: as
1.44MB and B: as 1.2 MB, but Linux sees the 1.2 MB drive as /dev/fd0 and
the 1.44 MB one as /dev/fd1, and I wanted to know how to reverse this
order, so
If i recall,i had that problem. Just use the command "umount" with the same
parameters as mount that you used, and then you can use mount again without a
problem.

Hi,
I am a Debian newbie and have the following problem with my floppy drives.
There are two of them: a 1.44 MB floppy drive and an unused 1.2 MB floppy
drive. In the BIOS setup I have configured the 1.44 MB drive as A: and
the other floppy drive as B:. But Linux seems to reverse this order: it
Hello,
I've just finished installing Debian 2.1 . Since yesterday evening the light
of my floppy drive is permanently on and the drive can't be initialized by
Linux. Is it possible this is caused by the installation of Linux or can it
be another fine example of Murphy's Law?

Hi Tyrus,
Remember to use the rawrite (or dd in *nix) when creating these
floppies rather than formatting and just coping the file to them. They
should fit on a normal high density disk.
Hope this helps,

I seem to be having a problem with my floppy drive install of
Debian GNU/Linux. I downloade rescu144.bin, and it is exactly 1.4
