Mac PowerPC 8100/80
Do you see anything if you run 'dmesg | grep SWIM'?
No. 'dmesg | less' listed the devices but I can't see anything
resembling a floppy, SWIM or fd0; however I can see the two scsi hard
disks and the CDRom.
I've just booted up on the MkLinux partition and 'mount /dev/fd0
gives the same error '/dev/fd0 has the wrong major or minor number'
but 'dmesg | less' doesn't list any of the drives except for:
Mach root device sd1l: major=8 minor=28
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
The floppy works fine on the Mac side
Thanks
