For some reason, when I mount floppy disk (standard HD 3.5" VFAT disk)
it does nothing. No error, just nothing... I have not tried this in
well over a year, but it used to work.
The /dev/fd0 device works normally, I can access it with mtools and
use dd and even access disks in virtual machines run

Also, check the partition table to see which one is swap, and what other

Well I have a gentoo system I'm trying to recover.
I've got it booted up via systemrescue.
I do not have a copy of the fstab, so what is the best
way to discover which partitions are /boot / and so on?

With HP, you don't even get a BIOS setup. You get something that tells

Issue resolved guys. Thanks to J. Roeleveld for pointing out that auto
detection is failing.
I built an initramfs using genkernel with raid and lvm support and added
options domdadm & lvmraid.
It works flawlessly now.
Thanks! :-)
