mtools can't find /dev/fd0 because /dev/fd0 does not exit (and /dev/floppy does not exit). Can't use MKDEV because I am using FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE. mount says: devfs on /dev so I guess devfsd is running. dmesg says: fdc0: <floppy drive controller (FDE)> port ...etc. so I guess the boot probe found by floppy hardware. So why doesn't devfs automatically make a floppy special file for me???? Thanks for the help.
