RE: [ProgSoc] Linux floppy mounting

["Nigel Sheridan-Smith" <nbsherid@nospam.secsme.ee.uts.edu.au>]

The linux kernel uses major and minor numbers to identify devices. Try the
following:

rm /dev/fd0
/dev/MAKEDEV fd0

This might correct the mapping if its invalid. Otherwise, check that the
appropriate floppy support is in your kernel.
