Sreeni,

 

  You need to make the output file with mkautoinstalldiskette and then dd that image to the floppy.  I use this on my USB floppy drives…

 

Mkautoinstalldiskette –out-file /tmp/sibootfloppy.img …

 

Then

 

Dd if=/tmp/sibootfloppy.img of=/dev/sdx

 

Hope this helps..

 

Bryan

Subject: [Sisuite-users] si_mkautoinstalldiskette doesn't recognize /dev/sdc as a floppy drive

 


Hi,

With IBM Blade server hardware, Redhat and Suse linux distributions see floppy drive as /dev/sdx (where x is the last  SCSI drive) instead of /dev/fd0. Apparently systemimager 3.4.1 can only recognize /dev/fd0 through /dev/fd7. Is there any method that i can input my floppy drive as /dev/sdc to the si_mkautoinstalldiskette?

Has it been fixed in the later releases of systemimager.

Thanks, Sreeni
