i have seen lots of discussion regarding floppy access mainly nbd and floppyd. Which are the best solutions?
I have tried both but having trouble with both..
Hoping for some kind of documentations for help.
Thanks and regard

I did this from the root console on tty1 you get with
1:5:respawn:/bin/startsess tty1 /bin/bash --login
(very handy, that) but it should go in rc.mfloppy.Hi Rick,
that's o.k., but chmod 666 /dev/fd0 should do it.You mean no mknod or no 0 :-) ? /dev/fd0 doesn't exist on
the ws here -- Georg's latest termserv debs.Rick,
when using devfs, the device nodes will automatically
appear when the floppy device module has been loaded.
So, you need to load the floppy.o module, then you should
be able to do the chmod.

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. )
