I've formated a 1.44 floppy in my b: drive using fdformat. I provide a disklabel with disklabel /dev/fd1a fd1440 But when I attempt : mount /dev/fd1a /david (after having created /david with mkdir) I get: /dev/fd1a on /david: Bogus super block What's going on? I've also tried the above using fd1 instead of fd1a. Also, fdformat seemed to work and gave no indication that there was any problem. Ditto for disklabel. A 'disklabel /dev/fd1a' returns what seems like the propper information for a 1.44 floppy drive. By the way, during boot up, both my a: and b: drives seem to be properly detected. Any help would be greatly appreciated. David Eisner cradle@wam.umd.edu University of Maryland at College Park
