mount da floppy in suse 9.1 install

I'm trying to load some drivers for my hpt372 raid controller while setting up suse 9.1 but i cant figure out how to mount the floppy =)
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
doesnt work for me says its not a valid block device
anyways thanks for the help

It might be the case that SUSE doesn't install the floppy drivers. Do modprobe floppy . If that doesn't work, the driver might be in /dev/floppy/0 .

as root issue the mount command to display mounts. If you see /dev/fd0 on /media/floppy, then it is mounted. If it is not mounted, then issue mount /media/floppy, then issue the mount command to see if it is mounted now.
