I usually just look around in there and find it. I use udev, I assume you do to, and this is what I get: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # ls -al /dev/fd0 > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jan 23 15:45 /dev/fd0 -> floppy/0 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # So if you don't have the link, it should be /dev/floppy/0 that is the floppy drive.
