Hi,
I have installed 386bsd on my hard drive. When I tried to do
mount /dev/fd0a /mnt, an error message would come out --
"fd0: hard error (ST0 44 ST1 2 ST2 0 ST3 1C cyl 1 hd 7 sec 2) ."
However, I could still do 'ls /mnt ' etc, but the error messages
kept coming up. I didn't have any problem during the installation.
When it boots, the following (reguarding to floppy) appears on the
screen --
"fd0 drives 0: 1.44M, 1: 1.2 M at 0x3f0 irq 6 drq 2 on isa ."
Another question is: How do I read MS-DOS partitions and MS-DOS
floppy disks. I don't know how to use those mtools.
Thanks for any help.
