Excellent, excellent tip. So much good stuff here.
But it all worked anyway! My first hack :D
uname -r 2.4.28 Nov 24 13:29:44 quake kernel: Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M Nov 24 13:29:44 quake kernel: keyboard: Timeout - AT keyboard not present?(ed) Nov 24 13:29:44 quake kernel: keyboard: Timeout - AT keyboard not present? (f4) Nov 24 13:29:44 quake kernel: FDC 0 is a National Semiconductor PC87306 Nov 24 13:29:44 quake kernel: loop: loaded (max 8 devices)
uname -r 2.4.28.nokb Dec 3 18:08:47 quake kernel: Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M Dec 3 18:08:47 quake kernel: FDC 0 is a National Semiconductor PC87306 Dec 3 18:08:47 quake kernel: loop: loaded (max 8 devices)
Seemd to boot faster too, but reading the code I can't see why - maybe I am all excited ;)
Many thanks,
Nick
