can't mount floppy drive

Here is more kernel message on my floppy drive problem:
when issue 'mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy', the kernel cried:
 'mount: the kernel does not regcognize /dev/fd0 as a block device.
 (maybe 'insmod driver'?)'

I noticed that when booting my RH5.1, I got :
'Floppy drive(s):  fd0 is 1.44M'
reset set in interrupt, calling 0016dc40
floppy0: no floppy controller found

What's wrong with my floppy controller? It works under dos and win98.

Have you tried using /dev/fd0H1440 instead if fd0?

 
 
 

1. Q: How to read 3.5'' floppies without floppy drive ?

Hello,

I have small problem:

we have SS20, Solaris 2.3 and CD-ROM drive connected to it.
We have Mathematica for Solaris too - distribution on 3.5''
floppies.
How can we install it ? We just need to copy file from 3.5''
to Solaris disk. But how ? We have only one SUN system (one
U**X system) and VAX/AXP OpenVMS.
Of course we have PC's too.

Is there utility for PC to read Solaris floppies ?
Or another solution ?


p.s. if it possible please send a copy of answer by email
