Now I found out that fd0 is only recognized by the autoconfig code when the floppy drive contains a floppy and the door is closed. I admit, I did not check it with door closed and no floppy inserted , should I ? :) Anyway, now I always put a non-bootable floppy into the drive when booting. Strange, though, isn't it? -- --Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@acds.physik.rwth-aachen.de *** Error code 1 Stop.
