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. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Trond Endrestøl | trond@ramstind.gtf.ol.no Patron of The Art of Computer Programming| FreeBSD 3.5-S & Pine 4.31 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
