If I mount the fixit floppy (mount /dev/fd0 /mnt) and check the /mnt/dev/ directory I see /dev/ft0 (the tape device). However when I boot the boot floppy and then insert the fixit floppy ft0 doesn't appear in /dev/ any more. I assume this is because the kernel on boot.flp doesn't have the info for ft0 included. A boot -cv on the boot floppy doesn't show it in the kernel config. Am I correct? One other related question; when I switch between boot.flp and fixit.flp am I supposed to unmount and remount the floppies? Doesn't seem possible but I thought I'd check.
