- I had the same problem. I solved it by using my old 0.0 versions.
- I have deleted my 0.1 mtools so not sure why that happens.
-
- That error message happens even when I'm just as ordinary user so I just
- change the access rights of /dev/fd0a to 666 i.e. rw_rw_rw_ even with the
- 0.0 mtools.
-
- CAn someone verify whether it is caused by the access rights of fd0a?
