I am having problems with the floppy disk drive on out Alpha.

I have formatted a disk which is HD on my PC and copied one file to it
called qshogen.pdl and I am rtying to read it on the Alpha.

I allways get the error 'Cannot initialise A:'

This is what I am doing.

# /usr/sbin/mknod /dev/rzz13c c 8 21506
# ln -s /dev/rrz13c /dev/fddrive
# /usr/bin/mtools/mdir
/usr/bin/mtools/mdir: Cannot initialize 'A:'

I do not know if rrz13c is the correct device, so I guess the first question
is how do I find the device name for the Floppy Drive.

Regards
Gary
