Hi list,
#mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ins´t working on
the machine using free 6.0
The /mnt/floppy exists but /dev doesn´t have the fd0
file. It has the fd directory and the files 0,1 and 2
PS: #mount -t msdos /dev/fd/0 /mnt/floppy doesn´t work
How can I do it ??
Thanks,
Aguiar
try this
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
or
mount_msdosfs /dev/fd0 /mnt
if that dont work replace your floppy drive as it's bad.
