Knoppix 3.2 is NOT detecting my parallel port Iomega Zip 250 drive during bootup.
The Zip 250 is connected, powered up, and has an IBM formatted 250Mb disk in it!
I added the following line to /etc/fstab
.
/dev/sda4 /mnt/zip auto noauto,users,exec,umask=000 0 0
.
tried "root@ttyp0[etc]# mount /mnt/zip", but got this error message
.
mount: /dev/sda4 is not a valid block device
.
I tried to use my Zip 250 as a permanent home directroy and that is when I discovered Knoppix had dropped the ball. I will give MEPIS Linux a try to see if it detects the Zip 250.
