It is a little difficult to cut/paste and e-mail you when I cannot get the
floppy or cdrom to work so I can get the NIC driver loaded. I cannot telnet,
ftp, e-mail, or otherwise communicate using the system in question.
I get the error message indicating a wrong major or minor device number when
I try to mount either the floppy or cdrom. As I showed in my previous post,
the ls /dev/fd0 -l command results look correct for the floppy. I even tried
creating my own /dev/newfd0 using mknod command.
When I try to mount /mnt/floppy I get the error message. I get a similar
message when I try mount /mnt/cdrom. Both are in the /etc/fstab and are
defined correctly (i.e. correct device /dev/fd0 for /mnt/floppy).
This used to work just fine under COL2.3 but when I moved the drive to the
new box (AMD K7-900, Asus A7V MB, different network card, different video
card, etc.) I learned that COL2.3 would not work with the K7-900. I then
used the eDesktop2.4 kernel instead. I can boot and run kde ok but cannot
mount the floppy or the cdrom.
I need to find a reference on how this device number stuff works so that I
can get the floppy working. I can then get the network card working and then
get on-line to e-mail any further details.
