If I remember well (as I don't use it) /root/XF86Config.new > I have USB floppy drive and when I try to mount, it gives me error > message'msdosfs: /dev/fd0 No such device or file'. Please advise. Well, fd0 is for the floppy attched to fdc, but yours is on usb, devfs is not seeing it so it does not create the entry in /dev. Please start reading the handbook, the faq and the man pages. > Is there a way to modify the boot loader multiple os boot prompt? One > of the options showing ?? The only one - modify the source.
