>Description:
The bootable CD or floppies with 4.5-RELEASE do not provide a method for mounting the 'fixit' environment from any source other than /dev/fd0 (or the cdrom).  Current PCs without "legacy" support use USB floppies which appear as /dev/da0.  


>How-To-Repeat:
Observed on Sony VAIO PCG-SRX7E/P by booting from 4.5-RELEASE floppies and selecting fixit option from sysinstall.

Subject:   fixit floppy and USB floppies
Message-ID:  <20011125003459.A13872@pir.net>

Ever since I got my Z505HS I havn't been able to use fixit floppies
with it, since it has a USB floppy drive. The drive is detected, but
as da0 not fd0.

Any chance that we could have an option in the option screen to set
the device for a floppy drive or something similar to let me use a
fixit floppy from a different device ?
>Fix:
* Change sysinstall to allow (at least) /dev/da0
  (Note that this would still be an issue if the unit has internal or
   other scbus devices)

* Consider allowing NFS mount of fixit filesystems

 If I understand the root of this problem right, this is not an issue
 of USB, but an issue of sysinstall only knows that 'floppy drive' is
 named as 'fd' (read: hardcoded device name is a problem) but that's
 not true.

The above person is right -- this is a sysinstall limitation.
