>Description:
Trying to install FreeBSD 5.1-BETA on a Sony Vaio PCG-C1F, which has a
USB-attached floppy. kern.flp and mfsroot.flp are fine thanks to BIOS, but
when you try to load drivers.flp, sysinstall just says "couldn't find a
floppy drive" or words to that effect.

The floppy drive is detected as follows:

da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <Y-E DATA USB-FDU 1.44> Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device
da0: 20KB/s transfers
da0: 1M (2880 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 1C)

	
>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:

I don't know the best solution. If /dev/fd0 is not available, try hunting for
other removable devices?

 I agree this can be merged with 35925, although it would be nice to add a
 note that drivers.flp is affected as well as fixit.flp

 This issue is no longer a problem for me, since FreeBSD 5.3 has a
 comprehensive kernel. My Vaio happily boots from the three-floppy set
 boot+kernel1+kernel2.
 
 It might still make sense if any remaining floppy-related option could cope
 with devices other than /dev/fd0 or /dev/wfd0 (e.g. I notice that "Load a
 KLD from a floppy" is still there). It would be more flexible if this option
 were not restricted to floppies anyway - e.g. provide a drop-down list of
 all removable or potentially removable media on the system.
 
 Regards,
 
 Brian Candler.
