Hello, I am a new user of Debian 1.3.1 (kernel 2.0.29). I am having trouble mounting my floppy drive in Linux. I have installed linux on my machine without any floppies and am currently booting it via loadlin. I believe I need to use the floppy boot disk if i ever want to upgrade my kernel. Linux does detect my floppy /dev/fd0 at startup but I cannot mount it. When i issue the mount command with my msdos formatted floppy in the drive, the drive light is lit but nothing happens. below is the mount command and an error that is printed once i eject the floppy.
# mount /dev/fd0 /mnt -t msdos end_request: i/o error, dev 02:00, sector 0 mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device Any assistance is very helpful - i think my system is usless without the floppy boot disk. -Paul Morano [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
