Hi Shaun.

Yes, I have such a command in /etc/fstab. What I'm beginning to think is that they just wrote a raw kernel to the disk. In that case there would need to be a speakup disk for every synth.

However, when I do "mount /dev/fd0 /floppy" after writing the image with dd to a disk, mount tells me that I need to specify a filesystem type. I've tried ext2 and minix with no success. Thanks in advance.
