Well, I mount a floppy on my desktop box (slackware 9.0 2.4.21) and copy some files onto the floppy. I then proceed to unmount the floppy. It chugs for a while (I assume writing the files to the floppy)
Anyway, then I remount it just to make sure the files are there (ext2) and everything is peachy. Unmount again. Eject disk.
Then I boot bare.i and install.1 and install.2 on my Lexbook SE10 notebook computer. When I mount the floppy using "mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /floppy" it mounts just fine.
Then when I go to read the floppy there is nothing there. I try to write to the floppy (copying the mkfs.ext2 program to the floppy) I get a read/write error.
What is going on? The machine boots the three slackware install floppies just fine.
