RedHat 5.1 boot disk

[Karen_White at Dell.com]

The driver does not work on a 2300 unless you turn off MMAP I/O in the
driver.  So, 
you have to build the driver on a machine after turning off MMAP I/O in the
source
and then install it.  Doug is debugging the driver.  I have sent him a 2300.
If you install
with MMAP I/O turned on, the floppy device is unusable.  The floppy works
fine with
MMAP I/O turned off.
