Hi,
I'm running Debian Sarge (kernel 2.6) on a Sun Blade 100.
I tried to to format my floppy using "fdformat /dev/fd0h1440"
but it says "no such device or address". In addition, mesg
shows there is an error:
SABRE0: Uncorrectable Error, primary error type[DMA Write:Translation
Error]
SABRE0: bytemask[00ff] dword_offset[0] was_block(0)

and it doesn't mention anything about floppy or fd at all.
Any idea?
The Floppy drive on Sun Blade 100 has never worked. I might be off on this, but
I believe it hangs off of an ISA bus built into the system (or some bus), and no
one's ever invested the time to detect it.
