I can't seem to figure out how to mount, or otherwise access a UNIX formatted floppy. When I needed to transfer a file from FreeBSD to Windows I found out how to mount an MS-DOS formatted floppy but when I try using mount to mount a UNIX formatted floppy (formatted with fdformat) in fd0 I get an error message about an incorrect super block. What do I do? Thanks in advance for any help. -- Geoffrey Robinson grobin@accessv.com Oakville, Ontario, Canada.
