Then assuming they have the right major and minor (2,0 for fd0 and 27,0
for rft0, which is what ftape usually points at), it's probably that you
built a kernel lacking support for floppy devices.
Look at /proc/devices. If you don't see fd as major 2 under block
devices, that's your problem.

I found it on the 'net; it was 74%. I gave "canada wwii" to Google and
found a lot of intersting info; maybe it was somewhere in
http://admdis01nt.ndhq.dnd.ca/menu/legacy/wwii_e.htm ?
Sorry, I should have made a note about it.

Or you can run xf86config. If you really want to run install from the
cd though. Boot off a 98 system diskette (or other with dos cdrom
drivers) and run the batch file off the CD (dosutils\autoboot.bat).
