Mount floppy image
I'm trying to mount a floppy image following the instructions on: http://www.bsdguides.org/guides/freebsd/beginners/mdconfig_mount_images To mount a floppy image, create a virtual device, /dev/md0, for the floppy image. # mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /tmp/boot.flp -u 0 I had to touch /tmp/boot.flp to make it work Next: Now mount the virtual device. # mount /dev/mnt0 /mnt _ I believe there's a typo here should be /dev/md0 I get: mount /dev/md0 /mnt mount: /dev/md0 : Input/output error I have no idea what to do now! Any suggestions?

Is /tmp/boot.flp an existing image? If so, what size is it? Note that is you use touch on a non-existing file, it will create a file 0 bytes long! If you try to mount that, you'll get an error, because there is no data to be read. Now mount the virtual device. # mount /dev/mnt0 /mnt I believe there's a typo here should be /dev/md0 Yes. I get: mount /dev/md0 /mnt mount: /dev/md0 : Input/output error I have no idea what to do now! If you want to _create_ a floppy image, you can use: dd if=/dev/zero bs=1k count=1440 of=boot.flp Then use mdconfig to make an md device out of it. Of course you'll have to create an msdos filesystem on it; newfs_msdos /dev/md0 After that you can mount it and fill it with whatever you like. -- R.F.Smith http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/ [plain text _non-HTML_ PGP/GnuPG encrypted/signed email much appreciated] pgp: 1A2B 477F 9970 BA3C 2914 B7CE 1277 EFB0 C321 A725 (KeyID: C321A725) pgp1eGhk47ozj.pgp Description: PGP signature

Teilhard You've already received good suggestions, and answers, and pointers to the other list --- or Google, whatever, IIRC. And this one's *not* for fstab.

Denis, Make sure there is a floppy disk in the drive before running the command.
