Mounting floppy (or not) - Debian 2.2r5 for ppp (potato)



Hi

I've loaded Debian 2.2.r5 (Kernel 2.4.4) on to a Mac 8100/80, which is a
nubus Mac, by using the MkLinux mach_kernel from http://nubus-pmac.sf.net/.

So far so good but I've hit a problem mounting floppies. Mounting CD's is fine but "mount /floppy" gives "/dev/fd0 has wrong major or minor number"

/etc/fstab is as follows:

/dev/fd0  /floppy  auto  defaults,user,noauto  0   0

"ls -l /dev gives:

brw-rw----  1  root   floppy  2,   0  Apr 15 2001 fd0

fd1 doesn't work either.  In case you're wondering, I have unmounted the CD.

Thanks.  Confused but hopeful

Clive
