Hello FreeBSD gurus! I'm running FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE p7. I cannot mount msdos diskettes, I tried: mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt I get: # mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt msdosfs: /dev/fd0: Input/output error # I thought my diskette was damaged, or my drive broken, or my cable... I checked everything. I even bought a new floppy drive. Nothing. Now, with another computer, a very old one, I made a MS-DOS boot disk, I used it to boot the computer where the problem is happening and I could read and write files to my diskettes. I also tried mtools, and they didn't work either. # mdir plain_io: Input/output error init A: could not read boot sector Cannot initialize 'A:' # Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
