The hardware contains a floppy device. When I try to use the floppy I can format a disk, but I cannot mount the floppy. The command that I use is: mount /dev/fd0 /floppy. I get the error message "Incorrect Super Block". I check the etc/fstab file and it does not show anything for /floppy. There were no super block errors during installation and I have checked the compatibility of the hardware. Does the mount command require any options or am I just missing the point altogether? I checked the FAQ site and there is not much on floppies. ********************************************* Richard Miron (email : rmiron@us.oracle.com) Oracle Network Computer Support fax : (719)577-8048 phone: (719)577-6042 ********************************************* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
