Hi everyone,
I am trying to setup the floppy drive for Linux(Slackware 3.1.27)
I used the "mount" command to mount the floppy
i.e. mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
but the floppy still not really working.
if anyone knows how to set this up, please help me.
Thank you so much,
jw

Unless you do have a line in your /etc/fstab mentioning the FS typeQuote:>i.e. mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt

1. Newbie needs help: Linux boots only from floppy drive
Hello Linux Experts !
I am a bloody Linux newbie coming from Win95. I installed the Suse distribution
on my second hard drive, seems to be successful. During the installation I was
asked to create a linux boot diskette, so I did. At some other point of the
installation I was asked to write into the master boot record, and so I did.
That was my fault, it over wrote the boot sector of Win95 on the C: drive !
After that point, boot from the hard drive was not possible. I installed the
PTS boot manager and could install the Win95 system again. That's fine, no data
are lost. But even the boot manager does not recognize the linux system, maybe
because the linux installation wrote its boot record to the wrong hard drive.
Now I am about to reinstall the Linux system, but don't want to walk into the
same trap again. What can I do safely ? My disks are:
HD 0: Windows drive C:
HD 1: Windows drive D: on one partition
Linux on the other partition
Booting from the floppy disk works alright, I installed user root and two other
users, basic commands like ls and cd work, Yast can be called.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards, Eggert
