Hi there.
When I tried mcopy to transfer a file to DOS partition,
it failed. Below is a screen dump.

>> # mcopy testx.txt C:
>> plain floppy: device "/dev/wd0s1"busy
>> :
>> Cannot initialize 'C:'
>> Bad target

I think I correctly set the /usr/local/etc/mtools.conf file
as follows:

drive a: file="/dev/fd0" exclusive
drive c: file="/dev/wd0s1"

`mdir c:' and `mcopy c:xxx .' work fine.
Anybody got a clue?
