I have a data recovery issue I need to complete, and one way I have thought of doing this is by taking the contents of (floppy X) that I have and copying it onto my laptop hard drive. Unfortunately, my laptop has no OS on it, and my net connection is so slow that I cannot load FreeBSD on it (and I have no CD). So, is it possible to boot off pico, mount the hard drive, then insert a different floppy disk and copy that contents to the hard drive ? I tried this with the FIXIT disk, but I can't unmount the fixit disk because the device is busy (of course) but if I don't unmount the fixit disk, then how can I use (floppy X) ? So will that be possible with pico ? Also, if you know of a way to do this in the FIXIT environment, that would be helpful as well :) thanks!
