There are a couple of ways to do this. It depends on how you want to read it in the future-- 1. stick a dos floppy in and mount it as a dos floppy (type msdos)--see the man page for mount_msdos--then it will be available as any other filesystem under /mnt/floppy (or whevever you mount it) 2. stick a regular floppy in a use tar cvf /dev/fd0 to tar up some information and put it on a floppy. 3. use dd (probably not what you want) -- Steve Farrell To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
