I really appreciate all the responses. The floppy disk I was trying to
mount was the swxcr setup for Alpha (I should have mentioned this in the
original post).

The command I tried but didn't work:
mount -o ro /dev/floppy0c /mnt

The command that did work:
mount -o ro /dev/disk/floppy0c /mnt

notice the first command was missing the /disk portion of the path... that
was my problem.

humbled and thankful,
Eddie

I'm new to tru64 5.1a (on a 2000 5/250) and the simple task of mounting a
floppy drive has me in a tizzy. I tried these:

mount -o ro /dev/floppy /mnt
mount -o ro /dev/floppy0c /mnt

but either one bombs with an error such as "ufs file system invalid or not
installed".

What am I doing wrong? I feel so stupid and I've got a headache. Thanks
for any help,
Eddie
