Mounting: mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt 2. Using: The disk's root directory is under /mnt; standard commands apply (cp, mv, rm, etc.) 3. Unmounting (**DO THIS BEFORE EJECTING THE DISK OR YOU WILL REGRET IT**) umount /mnt Of course you must run (u)mount as root. OR: 1. Install the mtools port/package. 2. Use mtools commands as appropriate to copy/remove/list files.
