>Description:
I had the distribution on a partition on wd2. I had to manually mknod the device nodes on the install floppy in order to mount the partition and access the distribution.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to access wd2 from the install floppy (boot.fs).
>Fix:
Add the appropriate device nodes in /dev on the install floppy. While you're at it, add wd3 too.
Thanks.
