Connect USB floppy drive to PC; no floppy inside. There shouldn\u2019t be any other USB memory devices connected.
\nFirst, you need to find, which device name is used in your system for the USB floppy drive. Open a terminal window (Suse menu (green icon) > Sytem > Terminal > Konsole (Terminal)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Usb<\/p>\n

In the terminal type following command (press the Enter key after it):
\nls \/dev\/sd*<\/strong><\/p>\n

The output of the command is the device list. You can distinguish the USB floppy drive from the hard drive(s) quite easily: the USB floppy drive is usually listed as a last device, and it does not contains partitions, which are represented as numbers on the end of the names.
\nOn the image below, the floppy drive is labeled as \/dev\/sdb<\/p>\n

\"Usb<\/p>\n

Then go to\u00a0Suse menu (green icon) > System  > File manager > File manager -Super user mode<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Usb<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enter the administrator (root) password.<\/p>\n

\"Usb<\/p>\n

In the file manager, navigate to\u00a0\/etc\/init.d<\/strong>, and click with right mouse button on the boot.local<\/strong> file icon. Choose Open with > Kwrite<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Usb<\/p>\n

Add the following lines at the end of a file (we use\u00a0\/dev\/sdb<\/strong> as a device name in the commands below. You should use the device name according to the output of ls \/dev\/sd*<\/strong> command on your system.):<\/p>\n

rm \/dev\/fd0<\/strong>
\nchmod 777 \/dev\/sdb<\/strong>
\nln -s \/dev\/sdb \/dev\/fd0<\/strong>
\nln\u00a0 -s\u00a0\u00a0 \/dev\/fd0 \/dev\/fd0h1440<\/strong>
\nchmod 777 \/dev\/fd0*<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Usb<\/strong><\/p>\n

Save the file (File > Save<\/strong>), and close KWrite editor.<\/p>\n

\"Usb<\/p>\n

Restart computer. If you will leave the USB floppy drive plugged in all the time, it will alwasy use the same device label, so you won\u2019t need to modify the\u00a0boot.local<\/strong> file again.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
