Hello,
I'm stilll trying to get Linux installed on my A5000 (Yes, I'm stubborn)
I now have two floppy drives and they work o.k. under Risc OS. My idea was
to make linux mount a floppy-disk in one drive as 'root' and a floppy in the
other drive as 'supplemental' (with the correct images of course)
But when I try this by giving the kernel the followoing options:
root=/dev/fd1 ramdisk_size=0
The kernel fails to mount the root-disk and gives the following error
(approx, because I don't have my arch at hand)
end_request: I/O error. failure to read device 02:01
My question is now, why can't linux find the second floppy drive and is it
possible to do it this way (maybe with a changed kernel or root-disk or with
other kernel options)
