FC2 installed well and everything seemed to work -- I thought.
I noticed that my floppy drive doesn't work. I'replaced the drive and cable
with new parts then reinstalled FC2. The BIOS will boot a DOS floppy, and a
RH9 boot floppy created from on an XP machine. Attempts to mount the floppy
manually yield "invalid block device".
I am working my way through Michael Jang's RHCE ver8 study guide. but it
doesn't offer much help with this. I had RH9 on this machine and the
original drive worked fine.
Any suggestions?
I think that having 3 devices share IRQ 10 seems funny, but one thing at a
time.
Thank you.
