There is nothing wrong with this command provided it is invoked by root. Two simple problems occur from time to time: 1. Try another floppy disk (you DID have a disk in the drive when trying to mount?). Floppy disks have a habit of becoming unreadable. 2. Look at your BIOS - does it recognise your floppy drive? If IT doesn't, neither will FreeBSD. If you still have trouble, contact the list again. -- Regards, Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
