Ensure that you are using the correct device file. Use /dev/fd0.720
when accessing your 720 KB floppies.

In fact, I use /dev/fd0.1440 with my /a mount point and /dev/fd0.720
with my /a720 mount point to avoid any confusion when mounting MSDOS
floppies.

This might help your problem with mount_msdos. I have no experience
with mtools, so I can't comment on that.


Hope this helps,
Trond.
