Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-small@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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!
