I have a USB floppy connected and sg.o, sd_mod.o and usb-storage.o loaded.
The device does not show up in /proc/scsi/scsi however, and
   mount -t auto /dev/sda /floppy
fails ("not a valid block device"). The drive works under Windows and BIOS
though. Any ideas? I'm using linux-2.4.22 and DevFS.

TIA
