I don't think it has to be in a specific sector. On the only floppy I can
find that I have used with a CD version (I use a Soekris 4501 now...) the
config.xml is in a directory named "CONF" in the root of the floppy. (i.e.
A:\CONF\config.xml). I think this floppy was used with a 1.0 CD version. I
do not know if the directory is required or has changed with 1.1 or later.

Is the floppy drive in the m0n0 functioning? Try to boot from a
dos/Win9x/Linux/etc bootable floppy. Clean the drive with a blast of air,
dust does nasty things to floppies. Check the "write protect" tab on the
floppy.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [m0n0wall] restore a conf from floppy

Hi
i've got a m0n0 with the CD version and save the conf on the floppy disk.
I've got the backup conf file on my laptop but the media now is corrupted so
i need to use another floppy disk.. 

i've tried to copy the xml files on the new floppy but mono cant read or
write on it.

floppy..isn't it?
