Mine is /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy msdos rw,auto 0 0 I might have forgotten something, but I'm not at home looking at my fstab. Anyway, after that, I can just type "mount /mnt/floppy" and "umount /mnt/floppy". Make sure you make the "floppy" directory in the /mnt dir, and make sure to su the root to mount the device, or else you'll get "permission denied" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
