It worked fine for "normal" floppies, but now I have 7 floppies that fail (when I use "dd if=/dev/fd0 of=diskN.tar") with: fd0: hard error reading fsbn 0 (ST0 40 ST1 1 ST2 0 cyl 0 hd 0 sec 1) For the first floppies that got this error, I assumed they had been damaged. The reason I think they might NOT be damaged is that they are all of the same type (different type from the floppies I could read), and they are all "double density" floppies. So, I thought I'd try using a raw device configured for higher density disks. However, I can't find any such device; I only have /dev/fd0, but without devfs (in -stable) I had /dev/fd*. which is described in fdc(4) The fdc man page seem to be out of date. My question is, how can I do the equivalent of opening, for example, /dev/fd0.1720 (in -stable) under -current?
