Solaris 10 floppy drive problem
I have inserted a diskette but I don't see the files nor the floppy drive.

These are the commands I ran.
#volcheck -v
#rmformat

With rmformat, only the CD-ROM is listed. I don't see any floppy drive.

How can I get my floppy drive to work?? I know it is connected b/c when I boot in XP, I see the drive and the files. I have a dual-boot system. Thanks
