Hi,

I used to mount my msdos floppy with the command

mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

but then after forgetting to umount it before shutting
the system down one evening I now get the error
message

msdos: /dev/fd0: Device not configured

dmesg lists only the following device that I think
pertains to the floppy

fdc0: <NEC 72065B or clone> at port 0x3f0-0x3f5,0x3f7
irq 6 drq 2 on isa0

Furthurmore /dev does contain devices fd0 but does NOT
contain fdc0.

I even tried the following command

mount -t msdos /dev/fd0.1440 /mnt/floppy

and got the same error message

msdos: /dev/fd0.1440: Device not configured

and yes /dev/fd0.1440 does exist.

Also I tried 

mount -t msdos /dev/fdc0 /mnt/floppy

and get the error message 

msdos: /dev/fdc0: No such file or directory

Should I just remake the fd0 driver? If so do I just
first delete the current fd0 first and then do a
MAKEDEV? Or do you think maybe that my floppy hardware
is shot because I am no longer getting the fd0 driver
listed during a dmesg printout.

Thanks for your help.

Wayne
