I don't believe the advice above is germain. - Does your floppy drive seek during boot? Is it powered on? Do you have loose cabling? Check the hardware first. - Do you have a /dev/fd0 file? - Is it a device file: brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 2, 0 Dec 5 1999 /dev/fd0 - Can you read from it? As root, with a floppy installed: $ dd if=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1 ...should spew some binary garbage across your screen. Just make sure that's "if". "of" will *write* to the floppy, overwriting any data (and filesystem) there. - Do you have an entry for 'fd' in /proc/devices: $ cat /proc/devices Character devices: 1 mem 2 pty <...> Block devices: 2 fd 3 ide0 <...> I suspect a system configuration problem. -- Karsten M.
