Description Lance Albin 2005-02-28 03:20:32 UTC
Successfully emerged basiliskII-jit-1.0.0-r1.
Within the GUI Basilisk II Settings pressed Start which displays the following,
   Reading ROM file...
   WARNING: Cannot open /dev/fd1u1440 (No such device or address)
then exits program back to the bash shell.

There are no floppy options within the GUI Basilisk II Settings and I do not know if a change can be made in the ebuild or the source code to prevent the progam from exiting when it cannot find a second floppy drive.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
If a system does not have a second floppy drive, the program should ignore the
absense and keep running.


The first floppy drive at /dev/fd0 works fine.

I may attempt a version bump sometime (and hope that fixes it) http://gwenole.beauchesne.online.fr/basilisk2/downloads.html but I still no little about 680x0.

David - if you beat me to it I won't object.

Lance can you trick the second drive with a symlink or something?
Comment 2 Lance Albin 2005-02-28 06:17:39 UTC
I do not know how to trick Linux into thinking that there is a dummy 2nd floppy drive, but I will try figure it out.

It appears that BasiliskII-jit is properly accessing the 1st floppy drive, because that drive mechanically activates before the warning message appears.

use mknod to make fd1 with the same major and minor numbers as fd0

if some ebuild version bump gets attached please reopen this bug.
