Hi

The floppy has been formatted on linux using the command:

mformat a:

So it is a MSDOS-formatted floppy.

On the FreeBSD machine,

# mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy

gives the output:

Jan 25 17:00:00 pcs130 /kernel: fd0: recal failed ST0
70<abnrml,seek_cmplt,equ_chck> cyl 0
Jan 25 17:00:00 pcs130 /kernel: fd0: recal failed ST0
70<abnrml,seek_cmplt,equ_chck> cyl 0

mount: /dev/fd0: Input/output error

We are using a standalone FreeBSD 4.0 machine. But, mtools source
files need to be downloaded.

Thanks
