The following appeared with the latest bk updated kernel. It was not present with the 2.5.33 version, nor with a 2.4 kernel version.
I cannot dd to the floppy until either it has been mounted, or until the superuser has dd'd to the floppy. The following is from a fresh boot:
[tmolina@dad testfloppystable]$ ls floppy floppyimage [tmolina@dad testfloppystable]$ ls -l /dev/fd0 brw-rw---- 1 tmolina floppy 2, 0 Apr 11 09:25 /dev/fd0 [tmolina@dad testfloppystable]$ ls -l total 1448 drwxr-xr-x 2 tmolina tmolina 4096 Dec 31 1969 floppy -rw-rw-r-- 1 tmolina tmolina 1474560 Sep 1 09:49 floppyimage [tmolina@dad testfloppystable]$ dd if=floppyimage of=/dev/fd0 dd: opening `/dev/fd0': No such device or address [tmolina@dad testfloppystable]$ su Password: [root@dad testfloppystable]# dd if=floppyimage of=/dev/fd0 2880+0 records in 2880+0 records out [root@dad testfloppystable]# exit exit [tmolina@dad testfloppystable]$ dd if=floppyimage of=/dev/fd0 2880+0 records in 2880+0 records out [tmolina@dad testfloppystable]$ ls -l /dev/fd0 brw-rw---- 1 tmolina floppy 2, 0 Apr 11 09:25 /dev/fd0 [tmolina@dad testfloppystable]$
From a subsequent fresh boot I get:
