Try the following
drive z: file="/dev/sda"
where sda is the name of your LS-120 device.
If this is not the first SCSI hard disk seen, try cat /proc/scsi/scsi
to get the correct order (sdb for second, sdc for third, etc).
N.B. Only count hard-disk like devices, not CD-Roms.
Example:
> cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: Compaq Model: DVD-ROM DVD-114 Rev: 1.14
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: SanDisk Model: Cruzer Rev: 2.00
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Also in my example, the SanDisk device shows up second, it is still
sda, as the CD-ROM does not count.
N.B. If the device is partitioned (unlikely for a floppy...), append a
number from 1 to 4 for the partition:
drive z: file="/dev/sda1"
