X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: lrh@alum.mit.edu List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2003 20:10:26 -0000 OK, so sometimes serial devices that one would expect to have names in /dev like sio0 or sio1 are now called cuaa0 or cuaa1 (for reasons beyond my understanding). Now I can see my floppy disk in the dmesg output, but there doesn't appear to be an fdc0 in /dev. Did floppy disk devices get renamed, too, or is it hiding somewhere else, or did it, for some unknown reason, just vanish? I'm trying to create a floppy disk boot pair, and can't write to a device I can't find. Help? -Lyman
