My original question was how do I mount a floppy to Digital Unix
5.0a. My floppy is a 3.5 unformatted floppy. (Sorry should have
said that although I can't mount a msdos floppy on any of my 5.0a
systems with any suggestions on mounting a dos floopy either). Some of
you have asked for a summary, so here's what's happened so far:
I've tried these idea's on two 5.0a systems, using /dev/fd0c
/dev/rdisk/floppy0c etc... There were other suggestions as well,
but they didn't work either. The ones listed here I spent the most
time on.
If anyone has done this and it's worked on 5.0a, I'd love to know?
1.
"mount /dev/disk/floppy0c /mnt"
Error: /dev/disk/floppy0c is an invalid device or cannot be opened.
2.
disklabel -rw /dev/rfd0c
newfs /dev/fd0c
/dev/rfd0c: 2880 sectors in 80 cylinders of 2 tracks, 18 sectors
1.4MB in 5 cyl groups (16 c/g, 0.28MB/g, 64 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:
32, 640, 1184, 1792, 2336,
Error disklabel: /dev/rfd0c: I/0 error
I also tried /dev/rdisk/floppyc no luck
3.
mount -t advfs /dev/disk/floppy0c /mnt
/dev/disk/floppy0c on /mnt: error = E_BAD_DEV (-1107) or E_ADVFS_NOT_INSTALLED (-1108)
4.
For v4.0f I use /sbin/mount -dr /dev/fd0c /mnt, and for v5.1 I use
/sbin/mount -dr /dev/disk/floppy0c /mnt.
Error: /dev/fd0c on /mnt: I/O error
Thanks,
Joe
