Subject: getting mtools working (again) ?

I've got 386BSD up and running, and installed the binaries
using the loadfd command when I started.  My problem is that
now none of the mtools (mdir, mread, etc) will work.  If I do
something like mdir a: or mdir "a:" or mdir "a:*.*", it just
aborts with the error:

  init: open: No such file or directory

I'm pretty sure that 386BSD is finding my drives at bootup:

  fd0: drives 0: 1.44M, 1: 1.2M at 0x3f0 irq 6 drq 2 on isa

Any help much appreciated, as I can't get the src, XFree386,
etc. until I get this working...
