I could think of two problems: Basically, the error that occurs is that all attempts to access /dev/fd0, post umount(..., MNT_FORCE), return -1 for the open (I'm not sure what errno is set to - I can check). If I launch the shell after the chroot happens, this does not occur. Jordan > > The mounted floppy still has device nodes that are open.
