Hi, I used to mount my msdos floppy with the command mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy but then after forgetting to umount it before shutting the system down one evening I now get the error message msdos: /dev/fd0: Device not configured dmesg lists only the following device that I think pertains to the floppy fdc0: <NEC 72065B or clone> at port 0x3f0-0x3f5,0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa0 Furthurmore /dev does contain devices fd0 but does NOT contain fdc0. I even tried the following command mount -t msdos /dev/fd0.1440 /mnt/floppy and got the same error message msdos: /dev/fd0.1440: Device not configured and yes /dev/fd0.1440 does exist. Also I tried mount -t msdos /dev/fdc0 /mnt/floppy and get the error message msdos: /dev/fdc0: No such file or directory Should I just remake the fd0 driver? If so do I just first delete the current fd0 first and then do a MAKEDEV? Or do you think maybe that my floppy hardware is shot because I am no longer getting the fd0 driver listed during a dmesg printout. Thanks for your help.
