Possible. Try a more recent kernel image unless your machine is a Nubus
pmac.

SWIM II was never supported by any flavor of Linux.

Hi Derrik
I've searched for the 8100/80 spec on the net and every source
indicates that the 8100/80 shipped with a SWIM III floppy - no
mention of SWIM II. Is there another possible explanation?
Thanks

I'm using Debian 2.2.r5 (Kernel 2.4.4) loaded from a CD set that was

Hi Brian
After installing the MkLinux version of MAKEDEV it didn't seem to
run. So I installed MkLinux on another partition to check the floppy
major and minor numbers. fd0 is also major 2 and minor 0 on MkLinux.
I shall try "info mknod" to see if it sheds any light but I'm still
confused.

Hi
I've loaded Debian 2.2.r5 (Kernel 2.4.4) on to a Mac 8100/80, which is a
nubus Mac, by using the MkLinux mach_kernel from http://nubus-pmac.sf.net/.
So far so good but I've hit a problem mounting floppies. Mounting
CD's is fine but "mount /floppy" gives "/dev/fd0 has wrong major or
