Hi Guillaume,

I'm glad that things are working better now.  Keep in mind that /mnt/floppy is simply an
arbitrary "mount point", but /dev/fd0 is actually the device entry for your floppy drive.

Check to make sure that you have selected "etc/" under Project File System --> System
Base --> file system, and also "etc/inittab" under initscripts.  You may have selected
another package (sysvinit, for example) that requires this file.

I might be a good idea to use the default set of options for the "minimal" project
initially, make sure everything works, and then add or delete packages as needed.

If you're using "/dev/fd0" as the target, peewee is trying to install to the floppy.  The
entire target filesystem is created on the HD prior to installation on the target.
