    I am looking for a replacement OS that I can put on my SunBlade 100.
    Currently I am using Solaris 9. I have looked at Debian and OpenBSD and
    both OS's cannot use the floppy drive. I have Googled and I know that
    FreeBSD 4.9 cannot utilize the floppy drive as well as (I think) 5.0. Does
    5.1 change this ?

    TIA

    Greg
