I have uploaded an 8MB BL3.32-based linux image file to be chrooted to after booting with Steven's 1-floppy USB linux.

http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/usbcam/usbcam8.gz

and /issue which work for dialing and with zgv. Report any problems.

I included busybox-1.1.0-static as an alternate, and imm.o and ppa.o to be used with parport.o for mounting parport zip drives, which can provide extra space to edit and store photos. I could not find a way to mount the /dev/sda (card) from within this linux which is on the card. I would probably have to add the usb modules and insmod them after chrooting.

The full (SW71 or maybe it is 81) mount often has problems umounting the memory card. Sometimes it fails, sometimes it works but says Couldn't umount /mnt. Inappropriate ioctl for device.

I cannot kill loop. Once I have done a mount -o loop five times I cannot mount anything else loop. kill -9 number does not work. When I reboot it gives me error messages about not being able to umount and then e2fsck checks the partition when I boot again to linux.

Sometimes umount works perfectly. I can't figure it out.

Has anyone on the list set up a SCSI-only (no IDE) DOS/linux computer?
We have one with dead IDE controller onboard. A friend gave me a scsi card with instructions to boot from an ID 6 device but the scsi utility lets you choose which ID to boot from. It won't boot as 0. Linux is tolerant of double-termination.
