Description dragona 2000-04-13 14:30:01 UTC

When I try to boot the 4.0 floppy the bootstrap, auto-discovery dosn't find the floppy drive, from which the bootstrap loaded.  It identifies the two hard drives, but not the floppy.

This is on a Pentium 60 PC, with an adaptec 2840 SCSI card, two SCSI hard drives, two SCSI CD-ROM drives, a SCSI tape drive.  The floppy disk drive is a standard 3.5" 1.44 MB Teac floppy.

This problem has existed in versions 3.x as well.

How-To-Repeat: Put the boot floppy in the drive, and reboot the PC.

We need more information: type of PC, boot -v probe messages etc etc. 

This is not by any chance a scsi floppy drive ?
