You will have to search for it becouse this is the most basic of
questions and you should have done your homework before you posted
this message. I've giving you all the tools you will need to solve
this problem on your own. Good luck :-).

With great apology to everyone in advance, I offer the following
as a brief exercise for the student:


[621] Fri 03.Mar.2006 DING!
[EMAIL PROTECTED]/c]
grep a: ~/.cshrc
alias a: sudo mount_msdosfs /dev/fd0 /mnt  cd /mnt  ls -l

Now, there's quite a bit to learn from that, but you might be just
as well off looking at Chapter 17 in the handbook:

http://www.freebsd.org/handbook

in particular, 17.8 is entitled Creating and Using Floppy Disks.

HT*H,

Kevin Kinsey

*one or the other.

Hey, I found the answer... Ok I'll give you a hint, it's in the
FreeBSD Handbook.

Others have answered this; but many of us most of the time find 
it more convenient to use mtools for MS floppy access rather 
than a proper mount.

You'll find it in the ports as ./emulators/mtools
