It happens that the boot 1) runs smoothly as usual till after the probing of the CDs, 2) then the boot hangs for about 3 minutes probing the floppy (I see the floppy led turned on for the same time), 3) eventually again smoothly till the end of the booting process. I noticed that the /dev/fd0 device is not found and there's no way to mount it. What shall I do? Vittorio
