Howdy!

I have been helping someone setup a laptop with a usb external floppy device.

This device needs only two modules: usb-storage and ide-scsi

We have the ide-scsi also setup for his burner like this:

alias           char-major-11           sr_mod
above           sr_mod scsi_mod ide-scsi sg

so when the "eject" command is given, then the sr_mod is loaded and the rest 
afterwards; sr_mod scsi_mod ide-scsi sg

I would like to have the same for the floppy, something like

alias           <don't have any clue what char-major-##>  usb-storage
above   ide-scsi

This does not work with just an entry in /etc/modules.conf of:

alias usb-storage 

as the floppy is plugged in and not recognised until the usb-storage module 
is 
loaded and our entry above does not get it loaded....

Any help? Ideas?
