Maybe this would be OK to distribute. # A note on permissions: a user must have read and write permissions for the # devices named here in order to access the DOS file systems. You might give # all users access to a disk such as a floppy via commands such as # chmod a+rw /dev/fd0 # or you might give specific group members access via commands such as # chmod g+rw /dev/fd0 ; chgrp staff /dev/fd0 # (and ensure selected people are in a group such as staff). # Floppy disks. Here, A: and B: use automatic size detection. # # Example: To prepare drive A: for use as a 1.44M floppy on FreeBSD: # [1] low level format with ......... fdformat /dev/fd0.1440 # [2] write a file system with ...... mkdosfs -f 1440 /dev/fd0 # [3] then use mcopy/mdir etc. in the usual way. # # The mformat command could also be used to build the DOS file system # in place of mkdosfs. drive a: file="/dev/fd0" drive b: file="/dev/fd1" # Drive T: is a 1.72M floppy format with 80 cylinders, double sided (2 heads), # and 43 sectors of size 256 bytes per track. It uses the same # floppy disk drive (fd0) as drive A: above. # # Example: To prepare and use a 1.72M floppy on FreeBSD: # [1] low level format with ......... fdformat /dev/rfd0.1720 # [2] write a file system with ...... mformat -t 80 -h 2 -s 43 -S 1 t: # [3] then use mcopy/mdir etc. in the usual way. # # The above note on access permissions applies to /dev/fd0.1720 as well. drive t: file="/dev/fd0.1720" # SCSI hard disks # first disk (sd0) slice 1 (s1) #drive c: file="/dev/sd0s1" # IDE hard disks # first disk on the first IDE interface (wd0) slice 1 (s1) drive c: file="/dev/wd0s1" # first disk on the first IDE interface (wd0) slice 3 (s3) #drive d: file="/dev/wd0s3" # second disk on the first IDE interface (wd1) slice 1 (s1) #drive d: file="/dev/wd1s1" # first disk on the second IDE interface (wd2) slice 1 (s1) drive d: file="/dev/wd2s1" # PCEMU floppy boot image drive p: file="/usr/local/lib/pcemu/DriveA" # # Atari ramdisk image # drive o: file="/tmp/atari_rd" offset=136 # # ZIP disk for Solaris: # Drive X is ZIP-100 at target 5 # drive X: file="/dev/rdsk/c0t5d0s2" partition=4 scsi=1 nodelay # # ZIP disk for SunOS: # # Zip drive is at target 5, which default kernel calls tape st1 !! # drive Y: file="/dev/rsd5c" partition=4 scsi=1 nodelay # # autoselect zip drive/floppy on HP-UX 9/10 # drive a: file="/dev/rdsk/c201d5" exclusive partition=4 # drive a: file="/dev/rdsk/c201d5s0" exclusive partition=4 # drive a: file="/dev/rfloppy/c201d0s0" exclusive # A/UX target 5 on 1st scsi bus jaz or zip # drive X: file="/dev/rdsk/c105d0s31" partition=4 # Some examples for BeOS. # floppy drive. hardcoded in devices.c, so no real need to define it here #drive a: file="/dev/floppy_disk" exclusive # ZIP drive on SCSI ID 6 #drive z: file="/dev/scsi_disk_060" offset=16384 fat_bits=16 mtools_lower_case=1 # end of file /usr/local/etc/mtools.conf >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
