David, thanks for your feedback.
However, whether I use /dev/fd0a or /dev/fd0c in the mount command, e.g.:
#mount -t msdos /dev/fd0c /a
when I do
#cp -p file.name /a
I still get:
cp: chown: /a/file.name: Invalid argument
panic: msdosfs_unlock: denode not locked
and of course my system reboots. (This is 2.0R and I am logged on as root.)
Cp works o.k. if I omit the -p but then of course the file copied to the
floppy has a new date/time of modification, not what I wanted.
Any ideas what's causing this? Thanks. <<Bill>>
