People with similar problems in the mdk public newsgroup. in the cooker/beta, it
works. but in the final release of 7.0-2, it did not. I recompiled the ide-floppy
into the kernel instead of "as module" and it now works.

"disk=/dev/hdd bios=0" under the "rescue" in lilo, right? i was looking for that

i've got the supermount in now, but froze the o/s (as root) when placing the mouse
over the floppy icon (when url pointed to /mnt/ls120) and right clicking. <bummer>
will fiddle with it today.

Partitioned? lol. not here. too small and slow compared to my other hdd's. better
for backing up linux files tho'.
thanx. (see mdk public newsgroup for similar problems -- a reproducable bug)
