I've looked over the net and I think I have a problem. I tried the command: mount_msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt and variants with the slices added. In all cases tried so far I get the error: mount_msdos: /dev/fd0: Device not configured Here's where I think the problem lies: (from my dmesg.boot) fdc0: at port 0x3f0-0x3f5,0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa0 fdc0: FIFO enabled, 8 bytes threshold The significant thing here is, there's no fd0 device after the controller is detected. I assume this must be why I can't mount my floppy. Any idea how I can get fd0 to show up? Thanks, Erick Smith
