hello,

i am a newbie under QNX and i was wondering if it was possible
to mount a floppy disk drive in the system, as i actually didnt find
it anywhere on my system. or if it is, where is it located?

it’s weird though because i am booting qnx WITH a floppy…but then…can’t
find it!


if anyone can help me on this one that’d great!!


thanks in advance!

Julian.

Hello Julian,
Try

mount -t dos /dev/fd0 /fs/fd-dos

Look at helpviewer or type ‘use mount’ for detailed help. Perhaps, if you’re booting QNX with
floppy, the floppy disk is QNX FS formated, then use ‘-t qnx’ option.
You must be root to mount, if you aren’t use ‘su’.
Best regards.
P.S. to see files on floppy
$ cd /fs/fd-dos
$ ls
