What if you did a ln -s /dev/hdb (or /dev/sda in the original posters case) /dev/fd0. If the only problem is that it can't find a device at /dev/fd0 this might take care of it.

I have a problem on my acer travelmate 632XV, when i insert my external usb floppy drive all goes and the device is /dev/sda or /dev/sdb and i can read and write on it, but when i start the wizard form yast2 for creating a boot disk or a rescue disk, the wizard return me an error telling me that there is no floppy device?
I suppose that yast2 use a different config file in witch is specified the device to use but I don't know where and who is that config file.
I believe that you are up the proverbial creek without the required paddle. I have an ls-120 floppy attached to /dev/hdb and cannot do anything with floppy commands. Create the boot disk like you would a hard drive and give the parameter as /dev/sda[b] as needed. I did that with grub and have no problems. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org
