Thanks to H. Blakely Williford <blakew_at_fullerbrush.com> I solved the
problem of formatting (unix) and mounting diskette in the following
way:
# fddisk -f -fmt -i2:4 /dev/rfd0c
# disklabel -rw /dev/rfd0c RX23
# newfs /dev/rfd0c
# mkdir /floppy
# mount /dev/fd0c /floppy
# df
Dejan Muhamedagic <dejan_at_cron.grsv.com> wrote about dealing with
DOS diskette:
"To use DOS formatted diskettes you should install mtools package
which contains programs like mdir, mcopy, etc...."
"It should be included in DU. However, if you can't find it there, it
is a freeware so it should be available from anonymous ftp sites.
Perhaps it's best to check the archives of this list."
I did not check it yet but it is a good clue.
Unfortunately the problem with network adapter is not solved yet.
I think my descriptions was not specific enough. I will try to
describe it better in next message.
Be sure I will send the SUMMARY about it.
Best wishes for all alpha-osf-managers,
