I have a Packard Hell computer, Packmate 6200 (stop laughing), and
surprisingly, it boots from the CD, even though there is no setting for that
in the BIOS.  Anyway, if I had the BIOS set to try A then C, when I used the
backup command in lrcfg to set a new destination for config files, it would
not show the floppy as a choice.  I had to use custom. It would ask for the
destination and file system which default to fd0 and msdos, so far so good.
Then when I tried to backup that package, it would error with "could not
mount device".  Yet, I could manually mount the floppy no problem.

I don't know why, but I set the BIOS to boot only from the C drive, and when
I tried to set a custom destination, the floppy showed up as an option, and
everything is peachy.  I looked at the lrcfg.back code and tried to see why
it would give me gas about not finding the device, but I couldn't see why it
would error.  It works just fine now, with no problems.

CS> This is a known bug with all versions prior to v1.0.1.  The problem is
with /usr/sbin/lrcfg.back, which was setting the actual backup device to
"fd0" and not "/dev/fd0" when you entered a custom backup target.  The /dev/
portion of all devices is not displayed to save screen space...
