My kernel config uses irq 6 for fdc0. Did you change this for a reason, or was this the default setting? Did you check the physical connection to the drive? ie, make sure the ribbon cable and power cable are connected well? Do you have another floppy drive you can try in this system? A bad ribbon cable can also cause problems. _ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Re: Can't open /dev/fd0.720: Permission denied
Im having problems accessing my floppy. E.g. when using mtools Im getting the following message: Can't open /dv/fd0.720: Permission denied I assume this is a typo, and the correct message is the one from the subject: Can't open /dev/fd0.720: Permission denied What are the permissions on /dev/fd0.720 ? ls -l /dev/fd0.720 I believe the default is crw-r- 2 root operator9, 7 Jul 5 2002 /dev/fd0.720 which user is using mtools? which version of FreeBSD are you using? Cannot initialize 'A:' Also at boot I don't see any fd devices getting detected. This is my kernel config: device fdc0at isa? port IO_FD1 irq 9 drq 2 device fd0 at fdc0 drive 0 I would expect something more like "device not configured" if that were the problem. _ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
