Did you make it run just of the box?
I'm not 100% sure but I remember starting a local console on the client
to debug something, and I think devfs fooled me in the beginning.
I was able to access the pen having restarted floppyd with the
devfs-device after having changed manually the permissions. But after
removing and reinserting the pen no access was possible.
So I wonder if it is correct for floppyd to use the static /dev/sda1 or
whatever device, perhaps the correct device is the devfs one. And
possibly floppyd does not handle devfs very well.
I ended up using something like /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
and had to add mtools_skip_check=1 to mtoolsrc. (we needed the floppy
drive, so I kinda stopped here, but i worked)
