[uml-user] floppy access problem (ro)

[Andrew E. <ee...@ei...>]

Hi all,

I am having problems accessing the floppy disk drive from UML.  I have
been trying, as Daniel Phillips suggested, passing the following command
line option to the kernel:

ubd2=/dev/fd0

The problem is that I can only mount floppies read only.  I have full
write access to /dev/fd0 as a normal user and running as root doesn't
solve the problem.

I'm using the debian 2.2 root fs (with upgraded modutils so that it will
work with 2.4) and the host is running debian potato (with 2.4.2-ac20
kernel).

Any help appreciated,

regards,

Andrew
