I am currently stuck in the following areas: 1) I do not have mtools installed yet...how may I get the tarball off of a floppy and onto my system? Can FreeBSD read a system V fs? Should I stick with a dos formatted floppy (how can I mount it?). 2) What is the syntax for mounting a dos partition? I've tried mount_msdos but am generating only stderr...I would also like to mount an ext2 floppy...if possible. 3) Finally: I need to get my UUCP conf files happy with an internal modem (com4 so it would be /dev/cuaa3...) Of course I get the `device not configured' complaint from cu...anyone able to point me to a relevant HOWTO or URL? I'm assuming I need to mkdev as sio3 is not found on boot diagnostics... (Anybody know of a howto that covers forcing bsd to use HDB mode for UUCP? Not too familiar with Taylor having used BNU for years...) Many thanks!
