If you do a 'mount' command does it claim the floppy is mounted?
Do you see any activity on the drive when you type any of the above
mentioned commands, and lastly, try (on a blank disk) dd'ing something
(say a kernel) to the floppy (dd if=/boot/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0). You could
also check to see if the file /dev/fd0 exists, and is a file looking
like:
brw-rw-r-- 1 root floppy 2, 0 May 5 1998 /dev/fd0
the 2, 0 are particularly important. You could also check the contents
of /etc/mtab. But by typing mount, you're doing the same thing. It could
be the the system thinks that /dev/fd0 is mounted, because it's listed in
/etc/mtab (which I'm thinking should be cleared out when the system goes
down gracefully).
my $ 0.02. Hope it's helpful.
