/dev/fd0 not a block device

Hello all,

I have a problem with my /dev/fd0 (diskette) not being a block device anymore.

It looks like a 'text file' was written to the actual /dev/fd0, making it a regular file, instead of a block device. Entry looks like:

-rw-rw----    1 oracle   floppy    1474560 Apr 20 07:01 /dev/fd0


How do I get /dev/fd0 back to a block device:

brw-rw----   1  oracle    floppy   2,0 june 24 2004 /dev/fd0

All help is appreciated.

Thanks
Tracy
