Or maybe another problem? What led me to this was being unable to mount the floppy with mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy command. Yet if I remember correctly the bsd floppy was automounted.. I'm confused.. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
