If you still cannot access to the floppy disk using the methods above, perform the
following operation and check if the floppy disk becomes accessible:
1. Login to the system as a user with a root authority.
2. Create a directory using the following command.
# mkdir /mnt/floppy
There is no problem if the message, indicating that the directory has already
been created, is displayed after executing the command.
3. Execute the following command.
# modprobe usb-storage
4. Execute the following command to check that you can access to the floppy
disk.
# mount /dev/sdg /mnt/floppy
This is an example when sdg recognizes the USB floppy device and the floppy disk is
formatted in MS-DOS.
If the floppy disk becomes accessible by the procedure above, add the following to
/etc/rc.d/rc.modules in order to make usb-storage be loaded automatically. By adding
the following line, the floppy disk drive can be mounted by performing step 4 above.
modprobe usb-storage
Fail to access to the CD-ROM:
Is the CD-ROM properly set in the CD-ROM drive tray?
→ The tray is provided with a holder to secure the CD-ROM. Make sure that the
CD-ROM is placed properly in the holder.
Is the CD-ROM applicable to the server?
→ The CD-ROM for Macintosh is not available for use.
Is the PCI module disconnected (offline)?
→ You cannot use the CD-ROM drive on the disconnected PCI module. Also, if you
try to mount the CD-ROM drive on the disconnected PCI module, the OS displays
the following error and continues to try installing the CD-ROM drive based on the
information of the status of the PCI module not duplicated. As a result, you will
not be able to access to the CD-ROM drive even after the PCI module is
duplicated. (System restart is required for recovery.)
