floppy in kernel 2.6: is not a block device
How does one use one's floppy under kernel 2.6?
$ mount /floppy
mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device
I tired /usr/share/doc/fdutils/Fdutils.html#SEC7 's idea:
for i in /dev/fd0*; do dd if=$i of=/tmp/foo count=1 && break; done
I tried modprobe floppy ide-floppy.
I didn't change fstab from 2.4 days. They must have changed the kernel.
Same lilo, append="pci=biosirq" or not. dmesg shows:
inserting floppy driver for 2.6.7-1-k7
FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077
Yes unit is plugged in.
