Hi folks!

I am sorry to bother you with my question, but the guy who is normally
managing bsd  at our's is spending his vacation.

The problem is the following:

    A student has bsd386 installed on his private pc. 
    Therefore he wants to transfer files from his pc to the pc's at
    the university. using mcopy works well when copying from the floppy
    to the hard drive, but the other way the following error message appears:
    "init: open: no such file or directory" 

    Has anyone some idea how to solve this problem? I suggested to 
    mount the dos floppy, but we weren't able to do so.
    Is there any work-around?

 thanx in advance,
tom
