I just tried to mount a floppy for the first time since /dev/MAKEDEV
upgrade broke my box awhile back, and I get the message:
mount: special device /dev/floppy0 does not exist
I've tried /dev/MAKEDEV generic and MAKEFLOPPIES, but /dev/floppy0 still

I thought my way out of this one. Simply downloaded the debs into /tmp, and
