Hi,
Fair enough. You either have to explicitly load the floppy
module or else mknod. Starting floppyd on the workstation
doesn't load floppy.o itself and an "mdir a:" on the ws will
try and access the server floppy drive. ( not a whine, just for
completeness. Mtools has been problematic for quite a few people
I talked with. )
