Then why can I slap my boot floppy in the drive, type, # mount /dev/fd0c /mnt/floppy and then, # ls -l /mnt/floppy -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Jul 24 1998 boot.config -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1030 Jul 24 1998 boot.help -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1303656 Jul 24 1998 kernel -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Jul 24 1998 kernel.config Did I mislabel my disk?
