'lo everyone. Having difficulty getting the floppy drive to mount.
I have checked to make sure that devb-fdc is running. And I have a good,
formatted floppy (FAT) from a Win2K machine. I have issued the following :
mount -t dos /dev/fd0 /fs/fd
and I get the prompt back with no messages. I then type ‘mount’ and fd0 does
not show up in the list. I type ‘cd /fs’ and then an ‘ls’ and fd shows up in
the list. Typing ‘cd fd’ then yields
“sh: cd: /fs/fd - No such device or address”
I have also tried to first mount the device and then just format the floppy.
It seems that fdformat is not on my machine. That seems odd. I would have
expected a basic utility such as that one to exist. I have installed several
packages (development, utilities, the usual ones) and have found most of
what I have looked for.
I’ll admit that I am new to QNX, but I have managed to bumble my way through
most of the other “easy stuff”. (After all, I have managed to get tin installed
and post to this newsgroup! )

Perhaps you have floppy drive calibration related trouble. Yesterday I visited my friends esp. to
format few disketes under win2k environment. All floppy disks are perfectly mounted on my QNX RTP
box.
I have issued the following :
mount -t dos /dev/fd0 /fs/fd
It works for me.
and I get the prompt back with no messages. I then type ‘mount’ and fd0 does
not show up in the list. I type ‘cd /fs’ and then an ‘ls’ and fd shows up in
the list. Typing ‘cd fd’ then yields

Sometimes I’ve seen the same on my machine. That was because I had got bad floppy drive. I banish
that drive and now I have no problem with new one.

Yes, it seems very odd. There is fdformat on my machine.
