I cannot access my fd drive any longer. I peeked into fdprobe() with a printf() and find that fdprobe() does not even see the FD controller (at 3f0). I'm baffled. I will now successively go back in steps to see at which kernel configuration I can see my floppies again. It does not seem to be hardware - a different IDE controller gave the same bad result and I can still boot dist.fs (I'm using a 386SX 16MHz Morse Motherboard with 8MB, two disks). It's really strange, maybe too strange to post it here - but if anyone has a vague idea what I could also look for or check I'd be thankful.
