Gents,
is the /etc/floppy file needed for /dev/fd0 to work?
The file /etc/floppy does not exist in a newly installed system, so I read
somewhere that in order to use the floppy you have to create the file
with the command
# floppy --createrc >/etc/floppy
But even after executing the command in FC7 I could not format the floppy
using /dev/fd0, I had to use
# fdformat /dev/fd0u1440.
Please note that the file /dev/fd0 did exist. Any comments appreciated.

You should really have started a new message for this...
You can use setfdprm to set the format, and then format /dev/fd0, or
you can use the floppy command instead of the fdformat command. The
device entries for the different floppy formats are not created by udev.
