Here's an example from my main box. hda: FUJITSU MPD3064AT, ATA DISK drive hdb: Hewlett-Packard CD-Writer Plus 9100, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdc: IOMEGA ZIP 250 ATAPI, ATAPI FLOPPY drive hde: FUJITSU MPF3204AT, ATA DISK drive In the above, hdb is my cd-rom drive before the ide-scsi emulation driver starts on my system. hdx would probably be where your drive is.

Do I need to mount that drive? Is there a way to fix it so I do not have to mount the floppy after logging on all the time?
