Try this: # mkdir /mnt/floppy # mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy If you want to shorten that, put a line like /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy msdos rw 0 0 in /etc/fstab. Then, the command # mount /mnt/floppy will mount the floppy drive. In either case, # umount /mnt/floppy will unmount it. > is it like Linux or what? Yes. > By using X like GNOME I cannot find the utilities to mount or to > adjest the network settings. The X-based utilities to do stuff like that are more often than not Linux-only. The "correct" way to adjust network settings is to edit /etc/rc.conf, though I think you can do some rudimentary configuration from /stand/sysinstall. See section III of the Handbook and /etc/defaults/rc.conf for info. If you have /specific/ problems, please feel free to post them here.
