Good to know I'm not alone with this problem -- under kernels > 2.2.7 (vger), on
the PowerMac7500/100(601).
I described the problem in the message "vger 2.2.7 and console" a few days ago.
Any ideas about trying ./MAKEDEV -update ? That fixed floppy mounting under
2.2.7 for me...
Any good ideas :-) ?
