If the floppy driver is not configured, ioscan returns the follow-
ing message:
ioscan: Device driver scsifloppy is not in the kernel
If you receive this message, go the the section, "Configuring the
Floppy Driver" later in this chapter for information on adding
the scsifloppy driver to the HP-UX kernel configuration.

Using Device Files

Device files are special files that tell your system which pathway to
use through the system hardware when communicating with a specific
device and what kind of device it is.
NOTICE: The device file names depend on the naming
conventions of your particular system. See
"SCSI ID and Device File Information for HP-
UX 10.20 or Later" in Chapter 1 of this book.
If you set the SCSI address of your floppy drive to a value other than
0, you must create a device file for it. Refer to the System Administra-
tion Tasks manual for information on how to create a device file.
To determine what device files are available for use with your floppy
drive, use the following procedure:
1.
In a terminal window, enter the following command:
sam
Enter
2.
The System Administration Manager window opens. Double–
click on Disks and File Systems–>.
3.
The Disk and File Systems window opens.
