Hello OSF-Gurus,
I have the following - urgent - problem. My new AlphaStation 400 4/233 has
a internal floppy drive which I have to use. The kernel-configuration file
contains the lines
controller fdi0 at isa0 slot 5 vector fdintr
device disk fd0 at fdi0 drive 0
and the devices
baerli|rosenth> ls -al /dev/*fd*
0 brw------- 1 root system 14, 0 May 19 19:34 /dev/fd0a
0 brw------- 1 root system 14, 2 May 19 19:34 /dev/fd0c
0 crw------- 1 root system 14, 0 May 19 19:34 /dev/rfd0a
0 crw------- 1 root system 14, 2 May 19 19:34 /dev/rfd0c
do exist. However, doing a "file" -command results in
/dev/fd0a: block special (14/0)
/dev/fd0c: block special (14/2)
/dev/rfd0a: character special (14/0)
/dev/rfd0c: character special (14/2)
which is not sufficient, and doing a
# fddisk -what /dev/rfd0c
Device driver for "/dev/rfd0c" missing.
# fddisk -what /dev/fd0c
Device driver for "/dev/fd0c" missing.
which is an error message I do not understand, since the device is in the
configuration file. Any Ideas ??
I really need this floppy quite urgently....
Thanks a lot,
Lukas
