Joe,
I'm not an expert on this but here is what I know...
I think the piece you are missing is the update to /etc/fstab. =20

As I understand it, this is where the magic happens with the mount command.=
  (You will note that /cdrom is also there.)

I was able to mount and read a floppy with the mount_msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt co=
mmand as root.  When I tried to add this to my fstab, and issue mount /mn=
t it didn't work right.  What I put in my fstab was "/dev/fd0 /mnt msdos =
rw 0 0".

I do not have any experience with dos floppies under FreeBSD so I am now at=
 the limit of my knowledge.  Maybe one of the gurus can pick up from here=
.
Cheers...

Subject: Mount floppy command


I issue mount_msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt to mount floppy drive A.

The mount /cdrom command mounts my cdrom drive.

I tried mount /floppy  but no such luck.

Is there some short cut command like for cdrom? 

Could I bury the mount_msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt command
In a script?   What would it look like?
Where must it be placed to work? 

Thanks
Joe
