Dont know about the SCSI ones - maybe someone else will know. As
for the floppy, a floppy drive is NOT an "msdos" drive. A
diskette can be formatted as an msdos diskette. Put in an msdos
diskette and type
mdir
and see what you get. if that works, "man mtools".
And your old dos partitions: try this
mkdir /dosc
mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /dosc
assuming your C drive was the first partition. If it was Win95
VFAT, change "msdos" above to "vfat".
If that works, edit /etc/fstab and put in the proper values, so
that it is automatically mounted each time you boot. Be sure to
"mkdir" the mount points (one time job) manually first.
