Changing Your Computer’s Hardware Configuration
Floppy Drive Installation
Verifying the Floppy Drive Configuration
To verify that your workstation can communicate with the floppy drive,
use the
ioscan
command in a terminal window to see which devices are
currently in use on your system. Note that you will have to be superuser
or
root
to use the
ioscan
command.
Enter the following command at the prompt and press
Enter
:
/usr/sbin/ioscan -C floppy
After a few seconds, the
ioscan
utility lists all of the floppy disk devices
it could find. The list appears similar to the following:
H/W Path
Class
Description
==================================================
10/0/14/1/4.1
floppy
HP_PC_FDC_FLOPPY
If
ioscan
does not see any SCSI drives it returns the following message:
ioscan: No hardware found
If the system does not recognize the drive, see the Troubleshooting
chapter for hints on how to determine the problem and solve it.
If the floppy driver is not configured,
ioscan
returns the following
message:
ioscan: Device driver floppy is not in the kernel
