My /dev/fd -> /proc/self/fd This is a file descriptor and not what you want. Look in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt and make the node yourself. $ ll /dev/fd0 brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 2, 0 2003-12-28 13:48 /dev/fd0 So become root, cd /dev, then do: mknod fd0 b 2 0 ...then make its permissions rw for owner (root) and group (floppy) and try again.
