Why would a boot floppy from one machine know where is the /boot partition on another to mount it, unless you made it on purpose to do that? Make a mount point if you don't already have one handy (mkdir /mountpoint) and mount it yourself mount /dev/hda? /mountpoint > Doing fdisk /dev/hda > gives me the error "Unable to load /dev/hda" if this ^^^^ is a typo for open, maybe you were not root and had not permission?
