I can remember that I've read something about the not detected floppy on the alphas. My friend, Jörg Wunsch, told me, that there is a mechanism in the driver, that gets drives and parameters from device.hints. after putting the lines: hint.fd.0.at="fdc0" hint.fd.0.drive="0" hint.fd.0.flags="4" in device.hints, the kernel is detecting the drive: fdc0: <Enhanced floppy controller (i82077, NE72065 or clone)> at port 0x3f7,0x3f0-0x3f5 irq 6 drq 2 on isa0 fdc0: interrupting at ISA irq 6 fdc0: FIFO enabled, 8 bytes threshold fd0: <1440-KB 3.5" drive> on fdc0 drive 0 and it seems, that this drive is working. There are some other problems with it, the automatic generation of subdevices does'nt work (eg. fd0.1), and this one: # dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/dev/null bs=1440k dd: /dev/fd0: Invalid argument 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 1474560 bytes transferred in 47.773982 secs (30865 bytes/sec) greetings, Holm -- L&P::Kommunikation GbR Holm Tiffe * Administration, Development FreibergNet.de Internet Systems phone +49 3731 41930 Bereich Server & Technik fax +49 3731 4196026 D-09599 Freiberg * Nonnengasse 31a http://www.freibergnet.de
