- Did you try all 3 of the suggestions? I sent you three. Here they
- are again:
-
- Set the MacVolumes environment variable to point to your B: drive
- before running Executor, like this:
-
- % export MacVolumes="/dev/fd1"
-
- If this fails for some reason (but it shouldn't), you can reverse the
- device entries for your two drives temporarily:
-
- # cd /dev
- # mv fd1 temp
- # mv fd0 fd1
- # mv temp fd0
-
- As a last resort, you could switch the ribbon-cable attachment points
- for the drives in your machine and adjust your CMOS setup to match.
-
- I can't actually try this myself because my small floppy drive is my
- a: drive. Is anyone else having the trouble Markmage is?
