Hello dear people,
Please remember, now you are my last hope ! I am sorry for my
mistakes.
I can't do image with my floppy disk ! Now I'll explain you a
problem,
first time (3 days ago) I wanted to set kernel to floppy, so I
typed:
"cat /kernel > /dev/fd0" - it worked well ! But I don't wanted to
wait for
the end of this operation and I pressed CTRL-z or (CTRL-c), cat was
killed.
After one minute I wanted to copy another file, and I typed that
command one more time
and I being seeing the message:
"cat: stdout: Invalid argument", with "dd" I'm getting: "dd: stdout:
Invalid argument"!
But I can mount my floppy, format it, make files on it! It works
fine ! I can't only do
any work with /dev/fd0, or any other floppy device file, for example
/dev/fd0.1440, etc.
I think (I'm not sure) that it locked in kernel !? Because when I
trying that command:
"cat file > /dev/fd0", I haven't saw any floppy sound, it was like
dead! I think it's
in the kernel...
May be not completed work? I don't know, but I want to work with it,
I need it very much !!!
You are my last hope, please help !?
Many thanks in advance - Ed
