Hi
In inquired as to the use of floppies on DEC Alphas. Thanks to John
Becker and Declan Lennon for their fine help.
Add the following to your config file
device disk fd0 at fdi0 drive 0
Rebuild kernel and reboot
Make the device
# /dev/MAKEDEV fd0
The device can be formatted with
/usr/bin/fddisk -fmt /dev/rfd0c
Label the device with
disklabel -wr rfd0c rx23
Newfs the device with
/etc/newfs /dev/rfd0c rx23
I was actually after UNIX usage of floppies but found out that DEC can
also used DOS-type floppies.
To used DOS-type floppies on your DEC you need a public domain tool
called "Mtools".
