Incredible that this bug has remained open for 4 years. The solution is simple--DOSemu running as a user doesn't have root permission to access a physical device.
You can fix this by sudo chmod a+rw /dev/fd0 Note that you have to do this every time you reboot, as the device table is built fresh. I can run BIOS-level floppy access just fine using this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447489 Title: [Karmic] unable to access floppy drive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dosemu/+bug/447489/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
