Your friend probably needs to load the 'floppy' module manually. To make
the system auto-load it on boot, just add a line containing 'floppy' to
/etc/modules.

The first floppy drive is a block device accessable as /dev/fd0
What you will want to do with this information is apply it into a mounting

You can do so with the following command,
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy
that is if you have a /floppy directory which I think is created by
default so you probably do and the file system you are trying to access

Hi,
Many thanks to all the people who replied to my email about my floppy
drive problem. A quick recap: in my BIOS setup I had configured A: as
1.44MB and B: as 1.2 MB, but Linux sees the 1.2 MB drive as /dev/fd0 and
the 1.44 MB one as /dev/fd1, and I wanted to know how to reverse this
order, so t
If i recall,i had that problem. Just use the command "umount" with the same
parameters as mount that you used, and then you can use mount again without a
problem.

Hi Tyrus,
Remember to use the rawrite (or dd in *nix) when creating these
floppies rather than formatting and just coping the file to them. They
should fit on a normal high density disk.
