Subject: shoelace patch #2
Date: Sun, 10 Nov 91 16:57:48 PST
From: pmacdona@sol.UVic.CA (Peter MacDonald)
To: linux-activists@joker.cs.hut.fi


There is a big difference between floppy the device numbers on linux and
on minix.  In particular linux has fd0 as 0x208 while minix uses 0x200.
ie.  linux /dev/fd0 == minix /dev/fd0-dshd5in

The following patch will keep linux from using 0x200, which it doesn't 
know about and instead use 0x208 and 0x21c.
Apply this after all other patches.
