I have noted that the "count=" and "seek=" options on dd seem to give errors in cases when one has devfs on. I checked permissions but still I don't get the origin of the error. The problem happens the following way: you give a dd with a count=#. The stuff gets written on the floppy. However when doing dd with a "seek", the systems gives "/dev/#### permission denied". This happens either by calling /dev/fd0 symlinks or calling directly /dev/floppy/0. I tried to give full permissions even as root and the thing doesn't come up. However if I try to concatenate both files and do a dd with resulting file, everything gets writen on the floppy. I checked this with two floppies, new ones, overchecked for anything "bad". The commands I gave work well on a "classical" /dev system... Ektanoor
