I was never overly fond of "automount" with previous versions of
Mandrake,
since my floppy device is actually /dev/hdc (an internal LS-120 superdisk
drive).
Beta3 linstalls the drive as /mnt/floppy, and it can be accessed (after
installation).
1) The installer failed to create a bootable disk when I placed a standard
1.44 Mb floppy
in the drive, with a brief message about i/o errors, before resetting the
system.
2) From the KDE desktop (my user account) it would not show the drive's
contents,
even when I tried a different superdisk. Oddly enough, after I shutdown and
reboot the
system, I was able to access the drive. Wierd!
