I tried to go to the floppy
/cygdrive/e/jos/GRUB> cd /cygdrive/a
bash: cd: /cygdrive/a: Permission denied

I tried mounting the floppy
/dev> mount A: /dev/fd0
mount: /dev/fd0: Device or resource busy

then I tried changing /dev/fd0 to /cygdrive/a
/cygdrive/e/jos/GRUB> ./mkboot

***************************************
*     JOS/GRUB Boot Disk Creator      *
***************************************

WARNING! You shoud run this program as ROOT
Insert a blank disk and hit ENTER read: arg count
dd: /cygdrive/a: Permission denied
dd: /cygdrive/a: Permission denied
Boot disk creation completed

the command in the script that I am trying to run is:
dd if=stage1 of=/cygdrive/a bs=512 count=1
dd if=stage2 of=/cygdrive/a bs=512 seek=1

my main question is why is permission denied? and what can I do to get this
command to work? I am sorry if I am repeating questions I tried searching
the mailing list and couldn't find anything on this particular problem.
