I can't find where the mount point is on the Device tab. Also, I can't mount he floppy from the command line. When I use % mount /dev/fd0 /floppy, I get /floppy: no such directory. I tried the same command with /media instead of /floppy since that's where the hard drive and cd rom are, but I get the same message. I can't seem to find the floppy device anywhere. I appreciate your help with this. Enrique I'm using the KDE environment in a PCBSD distro of FreeBSD. The hard drive and the cdrom seem to be present in the /media directory. There's an fd folder with three files 0, 1, and 2 on the /dev directory, but these seem to be empty. Also there's an fd0 file in the /dev, but it's also empty. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
