If you want to mount a dos floppy you type (for example):
mount -t dos /dev/fd0 /fd
right?
This works without any error-messages. The floppy status lamp turns
green and it makes the standard floppy noises.
But when I try to access it (cd /fd) I get the message:
/bin/sh: cd: /fd - No such device or address
if i try to remount it, I get “Resource Busy”.
cp /dev/fd0 /foo doesn’t work either. input/output error.
now, since I booted from the floppydisk before, I know its not broken.
Suggestions?

Try dcheck /dev/fd0 to check the drive and media first.
The mount command you use work fine for me every day.

Have you tried a different disk (regardless if it’s broken or not).
