The strace outputs compared are http://carnot.yi.org/straceQemuImage and http://carnot.yi.org/straceQemuFd0 . In straceQemuFd0 the fourth from last line is stat64("/dev/fd0", ... st_uid=1000, ... root is running this. Why not st_uid=0? Then the last line open("/dev/fd0", ... (Read-only file system) The Image is also read-only. Writing to fd0 or to Image is not necessary. > There's somethig fishy going on here.

Hardware is OK and the machine cold boots from the diskette whenever tried. > This return EIO (input/output error), it should not. OK but I also don't understand the st_uid=1000 mentioned above. If attachments are preferred I can attach the files. For now they are available from carnot. Regards, ...
