Hi folks,
FreeBSD 5.2
==========
Floppies formatted on M$Win can be mounted, copied files to and read, etc.
But floppies formatted on FreeBSD with
$ fdformat /dev/fd0
Format 1440K floppy `/dev/fd0'? (y/n): y
Processing VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV done.
they could not be mounted
$ mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /usr/home/user/floppy
msdosfs: /dev/fd0: Invalid argument
I tested 3 floppies with the same result. Kindly advise how to fix this
problem. Is there a special format floppy command for FreeBSD.
TIA
Stephen Liu
