It has been changed to knoppix floppyconf in recent versions or knoppix floppyconfig for the older versions BTW this is in the cheat codes (http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/CheatCodes) page and you should file a bug report in the bugzilla (http://www.knoppix.net/bugs/).

scan doesn't always work, in my experience.
try: knoppix myconfig=/dev/fda0

I just tried "knoppix floppyconf" on Knoppix 3.3 and it worked. The floppy was formatted as a ext3 filesystem by Knoppix before I saved my configuration to it.
Thank you to the earlier poster that recommend this method!
