Hello. I am trying to mount a floppy. Don't know what is it that I do wrong, cause it doens't work... I have asked for help before, even here, but the problem still is not solved :( . I am using FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE. The same happend with 5.0-RELEASE, but with FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE, floppy worked ok. This is my uname: FreeBSD pony 5.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE #0: Wed Sep 24 21:40:11 EEST 2003 root@pony:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/PONY i386 This is what I can see in dmesg: fdc0: <Enhanced floppy controller (i82077, NE72065 or clone)> port 0x3f7,0x3f0-0x3f5 irq 6 drq 2 on acpi0 fdc0: FIFO enabled, 8 bytes threshold fd0: <1440-KB 3.5" drive> on fdc0 drive 0 This is what mount says: root@pony# mount -t msdosfs /dev/fd0 /mnt/ msdosfs: /dev/fd0: Input/output error The first time I asked for help, someone suggested I should do this with dd. I must say that if I reboot to Linux, floppy works ok: root@pony# dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/dev/null And this is what hapend: dd: /dev/fd0: Input/output error Thanks in advance for any suggestions. --------------------------------- Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
