Verifying the Floppy Drive Configuration
To verify that your workstation can communicate with the floppy drive, use the ioscan
command in a terminal window to see which devices are currently in use on your system.
Note that you will have to be superuser or root to use the ioscan command.
Enter the following command at the prompt and press Enter:
/usr/sbin/ioscan -fnC floppy
After a few seconds, the ioscan utility lists all of the I/O devices that use the "floppy"
class. Your floppy drive should be among the devices listed. The list appears similar to the
following:
Class I H/W Path
========================================================================
floppy 0 10/0/14/1/4.1 sioflop
If ioscan does not detect any usable I/O system devices that use the "floppy" class, such
as the floppy disk drive, nothing is output and you are returned to the system prompt. If
this is the case, refer to Chapter 6, "Solving Problems" in the B2000 Owner's Guide.
If the floppy disk driver is not configured, ioscan returns the following message:
ioscan: Device driver floppy is not in the kernel
If you receive this message, go to the section, "Configuring the Floppy Driver" in the B2000
Owner's Guide for information on adding the sioflop driver to the HP-UX kernel
configuration.
