Message-ID: <D1zrMw.Dy@ecf.toronto.edu> Sender: news@ecf.toronto.edu (News Administrator) Organization: University of Toronto, Engineering Computing Facility Date: Fri, 6 Jan 1995 16:11:17 GMT Lines: 20 Hello, I was just wondering how one formats and mounts a floppy in FreeBSD? I can successfully mount the boot floppy using mount /dev/fd0 /fd.35. When I go into the /fd3.5 directory I see the contents of the floppy. However, if I format a floppy using fdformat and then try to mount that floppy it gives me ... Edgar > mount /dev/fd0 /fd3.5 /dev/fd0 on /fd3.5: Incorrect super block. Edgar > What am I doing wrong? I have to assume I am not formatting the floppy correctly because the mount command seems to work OK. Many thanks. Frank Ficnar ficnar@ecf.toronto.edu
