OK. Now we are getting somewhere. First, my major is 100, not 93. That is left over from when I used Dachstein. I didn't think it would make a big difference, but then I don't know a lot about the inner workings of things.
The lsmod output is exactly in the order you mention below (of course with a lot of other stuff preceeding it). I'll try changing the major number ( in /var/lib/lrpkg/root.dev.mk right?) first.

If that checks out, what is the output of lsmod? Do nftl docprobe doc2000 docecc mtdcore appear in that order? > As far as the existing file system on the DOC, it has always had MSDOS > on it.

I would double check that nftl is properly insmoded. If you're still having problems after checking all of the above, feel free to send me the output of dmesg after booting with the DoC-enabled floppy offline. I'd be happy to compare it to mine and let you know if anything jumps out at me. --Brad ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Get the new Palm Tungsten T handheld.
