Here's the answer that finally worked. Thanks to all of you,
I now have a list of ways to access msdos file on 5.0a on a
floppy as well.
Thanks to Lucien Hercaud and Emmanuel Bove
Step by Step :
# /sbin/fddisk -fmt -f /dev/rdisk/floppy0a
NOTE: Setting interleave factor to ``-i2:4''.
Use ``-i<nnn>[:<ccc>]'' option to override.
Disk type: 3.50 inch, HD (1.44MB)
Number of sectors per track: 18
Number of surfaces: 2
Number of cylinders: 80
Sector size: 512
interleave factor: 2:4
Formatting disk...
Percentage complete: Format complete, checking...
Quick check of disk passes OK.
# disklabel -rw /dev/rdisk/floppy0a
# newfs /dev/rdisk/floppy0a
/dev/rdisk/floppy0a: 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,
# mount /dev/disk/floppy0a /mnt
Thanks again,
