You've created a directory called fd0 in the / directory, I bet. The device has to be /dev/fd0 (or fd0a or fd0c, I forget--I just use mtools). > the disk, and decided to see if freeBSD would see the file w/o the floppy in > the drive, I typed cd /fd0, and it worked, then I typed ls and it showed the > two files on the directory, w/o the disk in the drive! Yep, you've made a directory. Install the mtools port and it'll help. You also don't have to worry about forgetting to umount the floppy afterwards. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
