Current PCs without "legacy" support use USB floppies which appear as /dev/da0. >How-To-Repeat: Observed on Sony VAIO PCG-SRX7E/P by booting from 4.5-RELEASE floppies and selecting fixit option from sysinstall. Previously reported to mailing list: Date: Sun, 25 Nov 2001 00:34:59 -0500 From: Peter Radcliffe <pir@pir.net> To: stable@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: fixit floppy and USB floppies Message-ID: <20011125003459.A13872@pir.net> Ever since I got my Z505HS I havn't been able to use fixit floppies with it, since it has a USB floppy drive. The drive is detected, but as da0 not fd0. Any chance that we could have an option in the option screen to set the device for a floppy drive or something similar to let me use a fixit floppy from a different device ? >Fix: * Change sysinstall to allow (at least) /dev/da0 (Note that this would still be an issue if the unit has internal or other scbus devices) * Consider allowing NFS mount of fixit filesystems >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
