Hi,

1. uname -a

# uname -a    
FreeBSD x.org 4.6.2-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE-p2 #8: Sun Sep 15 05:39:35
GMT 2002     root@x.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL  i386

2. which mount

# which mount 
/sbin/mount

3. file `which mount`

? i don't understand ?


4. try the mount with /dev/fd0c

# mount /dev/fd0c /drives/fd
grep: /etc/vfstab: No such file or directory
grep: /etc/vfstab: No such file or directory
mount: /dev/fd0c: Device not configured

5. if 4. fails, make sure you actually have a floppy in the drive :)

? i don't understand ?
