Where's the floppy module?

I placed 'floppy' in my DAEMONS list in rc.conf, later realizing I don't have any such module in /etc/rc.d. What module will allow me to mount a floppy?

Yeah, I am having the same problem. Right now my only solution is to just recompile my kernel. Hopefully there is an easier way, because I don't really want to.

Re: Where's the floppy module?

You need to add it to the MODULES array, not DAEMONS. There is also a ide-floppy module in case floppy doesn't work.

EDIT: If you want to be able to boot from a floppy, add the module to the initcpio instead.

That worked. Thanks.
