It is a so called "smart modem" which needs a firmware to be loaded into it to function. I had to recompile the 2.0 kernel with a DSI define defined :-) to make it recognizable -- it is sio.c, if I am not mistaken, where it says: #ifdef DSI.. .... #endif : If you want to preserve a partition, use (M)ount. I mounted it, and / is here, but it can not find the device to mount /usr )-: -- the one specified in /etc/fstab is gone Also, how about something to restore data from newfsed partitions? I do not believe they are overwritten and shredded... In here, I would also say, that install almost failed a foolproof test with me :-) I remember 2.0 install asking me where exactly on DOS part to look for files -- now I had to go thru docs to find out where to put them.
