The following works for me: mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy /floppy must exist, and '-t msdos' describes the filesystem. You can put this info into your /etc/fstab as well, which will allow you to simply type: mount /floppy DaemonNews had a recent article about automounting as well, but I haven't read it. Are you getting a specific error message? If not, what is happening that leads you to believe that it is not working? >I'm trying to mount a floppy drive but it's not working, words of advice? > >Dave > > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
