ilo adv: how to mount a virt. floppy on linux

Brunold Rainer — Mon, 05 Jan 2004 04:17:11 GMT

I was trying to mount a virtual floppy on a Suse Adv. Server 8.0 but I can't find the device for it.

When I insert the floppy before the system starts it will boot from the floppy. When I insert the floppy at the boot loader screen and start then linux I can't find the device for mounting it. Somewhere in the documentation was /dev/sda but that isn't the right device.

ilo firmware: 1.26

Thanks for help!

Rainer

1. try /dev/sda1
if not
2. see /var/log/messages

3. see the output from dmesg command
to find more help what's the name of the device..
Best regards...

Hello Reiner,

It should have worked with usb-storage driver.
Try "modprobe usb-storage", then dmesg to check what happened. It should be detected as SCSI disk.

Good luck.
