It sounds strange that your floppy disk is assigned to hdb. What is the output of 'less /var/log/boot.msg | grep fd0' and 'less /var/log/boot.msg | grep hdb'? Could you post the output of 'less /etc/fstab'? Regards, Jostein
Boot with the DVD, and go into Yast to make a new bootdisk. You find that option under System. Make sure that the floppy is new or not corrupted before making the bootdisk.
I cannot make a floppy with Yast. Yast will not recognize that the floppy drive is /dev/hdb0, not /dev/fd0

More: I have an add-on pci-ide 100x adapter with a 100gb (/dev/hde/) attached. Also hda is 100gb and hdd is 24gb, hdc is a dvd/cd-rw (plextor). hdb is an ls120 ide floppy drive.
Previously I used lilo, maybe I will have to use lilo for suse 8.1 ??
