When u formated your floppy, u have to use disklabel to label floppy disc: disklabel -w -r /dev/fd0 fd1440
and then u have to make new file system on that floppy: newfs /dev/fd0 That's all, now u can mount your floppy disc. > Hi folks, > > FreeBSD 5.2 > ========== > > Floppies formatted on M$Win can be mounted, copied files to and read, etc. > > But floppies formatted on FreeBSD with > > $ fdformat /dev/fd0 > Format 1440K floppy `/dev/fd0'?
