| |
Greetings...
Of all the bugs i've run into, this is one of the oddest. Hopefully, i've a) got all the req'd information here and b)a hope of finding a solution/workaround/a facsimile thereof to the problem.
System Spec's: K6-2/500 64 MB RAM 9.2 Quantum HD 2.4.0-test7 kernel Panasonic 1.44M FloppyDrive Distro: SusE 6.4
Problem: mounting /dev/fd0 or /floppy gives the following output: /dev/fd0 has a wrong major or minor number!
News to me.../dev/fd0 is still 2, 0, just like it's always been. 8)
The floppy drive was tested with a boot kernel, and works; mke2fs -m 0 /dev/fd0 also works well, as does make bzdisk.
I checked the /etc/fstab parameters which are automatically set up upon installation of SuSE, and these read as follows:
/dev/fd0 /floppy auto auto,user 0 0
All the other devices seem to be working properly.
Any clues as to what might be a good workaround to the problem would be really appreciated...the -t option with mount has done nothing, nor has rebooting.
Thanks for your time and help.
