Problem with foppy drive

Tue Jan 20 05:16:59 PST 2004

Hello Друг( it means friend on russian)

Now I'll try to answer your questions.
I tested my floppy drive in the same way
1. Boot one Operating System
2. Write some data on the floppy disc (usually it is mp3-files or
   jpg-files)
3. Reboot my PC and boot another OS
4. Check data - everything good
5. Format disc and test again in the same way

Also I read and wrote data on my discs on another PC during this term
and didn't have problems

Next question about hardware

 1. Soltek mainboard
   SL-85DIR
   Socket 478 Mainboard
   Intel 845d series
 2. nVidia G-force 4 MX 440 64MB DDR (AGP)
 3. 512MB DDR RAM memory
 4. Creative Sound Blaster Live!5.1
 5. Winmodem ZyXEL Omni 56K PCI (i thinc FreeBSD know nothing about it)
 6. Asus CD-ROM drive 50x IDE
 7. Yamaha 3200 CD-RW drive
 8. Intel Pentium 4 Processor Socket 478
 9. HDD 40 Gb SEAGATE UDMA 7200 BARRACUDA
10. and this floppy drive
I think that's all
My PC is 1.5 years old.
I bought in 24-July-2002
About scsi:
There is no scsi in my computer so floppy drive is not scsi

when I try :
  mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
my system displays :
msdosfs : /dev/fd0: No sush file or directory
I can say that there was no time whan this file existed
so i cannot mount floppy

Here is /var/run/dmesg.boot
