You can use /dev/hd0H1440 as the general device for a HD 2D floppy. To make devices you can use MAKEDEV fdX, where X is your IDE floppy controller.<br />
Try mount -t msdos /dev/fd0H1440 /mnt/floppy<br />
Check if the dir /mnt/floppy exist, if not make it.<br />
Maybe a good spot to look is /proc/interrupts and /proc/ioports for possible hardware conflict.<br />

I can't seem to mount my floppy drive. it's defaulted to<br />
fd0 but I get a bad superblock or too many drives mounted error. if I try to mount it as fd1 my floppy looks like it's going to mount but then returns the same error. everything else mounts just fine. <br />
And also, as pathetic as it may seem, I don't know how to creat a new file. in particular ppp.sh. <br />
any help in these matters would be greatly appreciated.
