/dev/fd0 problem



Happy New Year !

I did something stupid, when tired and working as root. I'm now getting
this error when attempting to mount/read a floppy;
"Inappropriate ioctl for device"

running 'hdparm -Tt /dev/fd0' returns the following;

	/dev/fd0:
	read(2097152) returned 879616 bytes
	BLKGETSIZE failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
	Timing buffered disk reads:  read() hit EOF - device too small
	BLKFLSBUF failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
	HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(null) (wait for flush complete) failed:
	Inappropriate ioctl for device
	  

Any ideas on how to fix this ?

Thanks.
