With great apology to everyone in advance, I offer the following
as a brief exercise for the student:


[621] Fri 03.Mar.2006 DING!
[kadmin at archangel][~/c]
grep a: ~/.cshrc
alias a: "sudo mount_msdosfs /dev/fd0 /mnt && cd /mnt && ls -l"

Now, there's quite a bit to learn from that, but you might be just
as well off looking at Chapter 17 in the handbook:

         http://www.freebsd.org/handbook

in particular, 17.8 is entitled "Creating and Using Floppy Disks".
