Wabi on SuSE Linux 6.1

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 6.1

Symptom:

Wabi has been installed, but yet Windows cannot be installed on it. An error message appears during the install during the boot of the first diskette.

Cause:

Wabi relies on the existence of the device /dev/fd0H1440 for access to the floppy drive. Under Linux, this device does not exist. You can find more related information in the file /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt.

Solution:

As root, create a symbolic link to /dev/fd0 as follows:

su -
ln -s /dev/fd0 /dev/fd0H1440
exit
At this point, the Wabi install may continue, though you should not do this as root.
