Here it is, upon trying to mount my ext2fs floppy, I get this:
# mount /dev/fd1 /floppy -text2 mount: /dev/fd1 is not a valid block device
then I look at /var/log/syslog and see this:
Jul 30 12:10:02 seinfeld kernel: floppy0: Unable to allocate DMA memory
just for the heck of it, I fired up dosemu, put in a dos floppy and did a:, which led to this:
ERROR: Sector not found 1! SYSCALL ERROR: 6, *No such device or address* in file disks.c, line 581: expr= open(dp->dev_name, dp->wantrdonly ?

Okay, a little overkill there, but I didn't include all of them. My next step is to reboot and see if that clears it up, here's the setup...
# cat /proc/version Linux version 2.0.8 (root@seinfeld) (gcc version 2.7.2) #1 Mon Jul 22 12:43:50 EDT 1996 # uptime 12:15pm up 7 days, 20:52, 7 users, load average: 0.06, 0.11, 0.14
Any ideas?????
