" Pq sparc64 +.\" .Cd "fdc* at ebus? " Pq sparc64 +.Cd "fd* at fdc? flags 0x00" +.Sh DESCRIPTION +The +.Nm +driver supports the standard AT floppy disk controllers. +These include standard IDE, MFM, RLL, +EIDE, ESDI and SCSI controllers with floppy attachment, +commonly encountered on many isa bus machines, +as well as the on-board floppy controller found on most +UltraSPARC workstations. +.Pp +The standard names of a floppy drive will take the form +.Pa /dev/fd{0,1,2,3}{,B,C,D,E,F,G,H}[a-p] . +.Pp +The first component of this path is the unit number, permitting +a total of 4 floppy drives. +The next component is missing for the default geometry (it +would be A, but it is omitted for simplicity) and B-H for the +other 7 geometry types the floppy driver supports. +The last component of the path is the 16 partitions that a floppy +disk can support. +.Pp +The additional geometry types are as follows: +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width xxxxxx -offset indent -compact +.It `B' 1.44MB +.It `C' 1.2MB +.It `D' 360KB/AT (360KB disk in a 1.2 MB drive) +.It `E' 360KB/PC (360KB drive) +.It `F' 720KB +.It `G' 720KB/x (720KB in a 1.2 MB drive) +.It `H' 360KB/x (360KB in a 720KB drive) +.El +.Pp +The default geometry is the format specified in the BIOS, and +is typically the largest supported format. +.Pp +Some isa floppy controllers do not respond correctly to probes, and +the configuration file +.Cm flags +field can be used to specify a particular drive type, overriding the +probed type. +If the 0x10 bit is on, the low order three bits of the +.Cm flags +field encode the drive type, as follows: +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width 2.88MB -offset indent -compact +.It 1 2.88MB +.It 2 1.44MB +.It 3 1.2MB +.It 4 720K +.It 5 360K +.It 6 1.2 MB Japanese format +.El +.Pp +If the 0x20 bit is on, the drive will be attached even +if it was not found by the probe routine. +These flags are ignored on +.Nm +controllers not connected to an +.Xr isa 4 +bus. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr eject 1 , +.Xr fdformat 1 , +.Xr ebus 4 , +.Xr intro 4 , +.Xr isa 4 , +.Xr sbus 4 +.Sh BUGS +The +.Nm +driver can interfere with other +.Xr isa 4 +controllers, namely some WD/SMC +network controllers fail to work when the probing mechanism +in the +.Nm +driver probes for a missing second floppy drive. +In this case you should try recompiling the kernel +replacing the relevant line with +.Cd "fd0 at fdc?" . |
