Description Forgotten User 2Xrp_Q7k_A 2006-01-15 15:06:04 UTC 
The man page fd(4) lists floppy device names that do not correspond to current devices in the SUSE distribution. (One needs to deciver those device names for proper low-level formatting.)

Proposal: One can enhance it by a sentence that tells that the fd?u* devices are the same as the fd?[DH]* devices.

Thanks for the report.

fd(4) is part of the man-pages package and the issue somehow depends on the devs package.  Will one of you kernel guys please report it upstream or fix our manpage?

10.1 is still affected.

man pages are generic, not specific for one product/release.
