[SOLVE] Diskette drive not work

I have a diskette driver. I want to put in my computer. How I can rebuild the /dev for create the fd0? In my archlinux not have fd0 in /dev, but have the line /dev/fd0 in fstab.

Sorry, my english not very well.

Thanks

By default archlinux dont load the floppy drive module (witch will create the fd[x] devices).

Just type:

modprobe floppy

then mount your floppy drive (mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy)
You probably would like to add the module "floppy" to your /etc/rc.conf file
