I've connected my Indy floptical drive under Linux for the first time, and
the kernel accurately detects and sizes it (when a diskette is in).  Since
I've never had the opportunity to actually purchase a 21 M floptical
diskette, the default media are IBM format dikettes.  When I try to add
msdos or vfat filesystem support to the kernel (latest CVS) I get the
following failure:

make -C  arch/mips/tools

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Same problem with 2.2, just a different error:

Thanks Andrew, 2.2 compiles now.

Using the 2.2 kernel from CVS I've read a vfat diskette from my floptical
drive; can this knowledge be applied to replace my IRIX system drive with a
boot floppy?
