Did you use 'cp /boot/vmlinuz /dev/fd0' or something simulair as root?
Yes
If you did this, you destroyed your filesystem on the floppy. There is no way to mount it...
I'm surprised to hear that - I didn't know about this. However, it sure explains a lot! Why does this distroy the filesystem? I thought this was the way it should be done.
If you feel lucky (maybe, I never tried this...) you can copy the file with 'cp /dev/fd0 vmlinuz'.
In the future, use 'mcopy' to copy a file to a floppy. You can do this as a normal user.
Now I'm confused. Someone mentioned before that mcopy is only used to copy files off a DOS formatted device (in this case a floppy).
Good luck, Cees.
