multiple partitions?
by Bob Keyes 16 Apr '04

16 Apr '04

I am creating a single flopy linux, and it would be useful to have two different partition types on the floppy (one msdos, the other squashfs). I can use fdisk on the floppy easily enough, but how do I access the partitions I have created? _______________________________________________ fdutils mailing list fdutils(a)tux.org http://www.tux.org/mailman/listinfo/fdutils

Support for zero-based sectors
by Wade Bowmer 13 Mar '04

13 Mar '04

I've had a nice adventure in the last day or two, trying to figure out how to access a diskette from my sampler in Linux. Thank you very much for fdutils! Although all is not roses, most of the road has already been traveled. Naturally, my sampler - an Ensoniq EPS 16plus - formats diskettes with sector numbers starting 0 instead of 1 like the PC world. Has the zero-based sector patch ever been submitted for inclusion in the kernel? (If not, I can compile a kernel, not a problem.) And would a patch to the fdutils themselves - specifically setfdprm and getfdprm - to support this be useful? Wade. _______________________________________________ fdutils mailing list fdutils(a)tux.org http://www.tux.org/mailman/listinfo/fdutils
