Using floppies requires mounting them after you put them in and unmounting them before you take them out. Only reason (Aside from never removing the floppy) you would put the floppy in /etc/fstab would be with a noauto option so you could just `mount /floppy` instead of the longer `mount /dev/fd0 /floppy`. -===================================================================- Jeremy Shaffner JORSM Internet Senior Technical Support Northwest Indiana's Premium jer@jorsm.com Internet Service Provider support@jorsm.com http://www.jorsm.com -===================================================================- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
