Rather than resending, why not ask the question better?
you are absolutely right: was in too much a hurry. thanks for your answer
got a strange problem. when i install a wireless asuscard, i.e. the
driver; rt2500-source, ralink_chip (on debian; etch) 'floppy' disappears
without a trace out of 'system, storage media'.
What is a "system, storage media" for it to disappear from?
since etch: desktop >> system >> storage device >> .... [floppy:icon]
so: not loaded at boot
Do you have a device /dev/fd0?
steef@debian-etch:~$ sudo mount /dev/fdo -t vfat,ext3 /media/floppy
mount: special device /dev/fdo does not exist
steef@debian-etch:~$
What does
# dmesg | grep fd
show?
steef@debian-etch:~$ dmesg | grep fd
mapped APIC to ffffd000 (fee00000)
MEM window: fd800000-fd8fffff
PREFETCH window: fd700000-fd7fffff
MEM window: fde00000-fdefffff
PREFETCH window: fdd00000-fddfffff
MEM window: fdc00000-fdcfffff

pcie_portdrv_probe->Dev[02fd:10de] has invalid IRQ. Check vendor BIOS

[seems normal]
and:
steef@debian-etch:~$ dmesg | grep fd0
mapped APIC to ffffd000 (fee00000)
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xfd00-0xfd07, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA

steef@debian-etch:~$
a second look at APIC ?? (notice: grep >> fd0
manipulating /etc/fstab has no results. floppy does not come back 'no
device etc.'
agreed. what not is seen cannot be loaded. just tried
fstab is there for convenience. Until you can mount something manually
as root, there's no point worrying about fstab.
that's a fact: yes.
Try man mount.
nothing comes out of that: tried it on three machines. on this hd (etch)
see above
regards,
steef
Doug.
