[SunHELP] Device Configuration Assistant Diskette Unable to mount floppy

[Jeebu]

Hi,

I have a dual processor x86 system on a VIA Apollo PRO133x chipset
motherboard (MSI-694D Pro2). I also have a 40GB IDE HDD. The Solaris 8
Installation CD does not have the requisite patch 110202 for recognising
IDE drives >=40GB. I built the DCA diskette and the updated drivers
diskette.

However the DCA diskette is unable to mount the filesystem in the
floppy.
DCA started from the Installation CD #1 and then F4 (Add drivers)
cannot mount the updated drivers diskette.

Both the diskettes apparantly work on a uniprocessor  x86 system
(BX chipset)
