I have the latest incarnation of Mandrake 7(air) 
installed on a 2.5gig partition at the end of my drive.

I'm running Windows 98 SE also.  
When I boot to Linux, I'm using loadlin. 
        loadlin vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 mem=192m

I don't have a standard floppy drive in my system.
   /dev/hda (IBM 22gig IDE)
   /dev/hdb (cd reader)
   /dev/hdc (ls-120)
   /dev/hdd (cd writer)

I think I'm running into a problem with supermount.  
I keep getting "FAT bread failed" and "floppy0 timeout" errors.
It's especially bad when I try to install an RPM.  Why this is,
I'm not too sure.

Do I need to modify my loadlin line and pass a floppy=/dev/hdc parameter.
I remember reading something about this only it was a cdrom=/dev/hdb or
something like that.


Thanks
Charlie
