The "knoppix floppyconfig" cheatcode worked OK for me in knoppix 3.7. I tried it with 3.9 but consistently can't get it to work. Is the observed behavior here seen elsewhere, or known?
After issuing the cheatcode at " the boot: prompt, booting proceeds to the point where it needs to access the floppy and yields a message "Filesysem not autodetected" and asks for a password with which to try to unencrypt the floppy with AES256.
Happened on 4 or 5 machines. On one machine same floppy went through OK when swapping in the 3.7 CD for the 3.9. Had no successful case with 3.9. Feels like a general bug and I'd like others' feedback. Thanks.
