Hi Derrik
Can you tell me what the major and minor numbers are for your
Nubus Macs?
Thanks

Do you see anything if you run 'dmesg | grep SWIM'?
No. 'dmesg | less' listed the
devices but I can't see anything resembling a floppy, SWIM or fd0;
however I can see the two scsi hard disks and the CDRom.
I've just booted up on the MkLinux
partition and 'mount /dev/fd0 gives the same error '/dev/fd0 has the
wrong major or minor number' but 'dmesg | less' doesn't list any of
the drives except for:
Mach root device sd1l: major=8
minor=28
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem)
readonly.
The floppy works fine on the Mac
side
Thanks
