I know that for QNX 4.2 you would do this
"Dosfsys a=/dev/fd0 & "
And I know that fs-dos.so replaced Dosfsys in QNX 6
But the help for fs-dos.so doesn’t show an example of
“fs-dos.so a=/dev/fd0 &”
help for mount shows this however
“mount -t fs-dos.so /dev/fd0”
Which gives a sharing/access violation.
…
Oh, wait. You mean all I need to do is
“mount -t dos /dev/fd0”
?
Where will it show up, under “/dos/fd/” ?
TIA - Patrick
Try
mount -t dos /dev/fd0 /fs/fd0
which should give you access at /fs/fd0 to your DOS floppy,

I bet every one who was used to the way QNX 4 worked asked this same
question! Is there a FAQ being built with this type of information?
Because QNX 4, is close enough to QNX 6 to REALLY confuse you.

This is mentioned in the Sys Admin guide, one of our orphaned docs that
is still a work-in-progress. It isn’t included in the shipped docs, but
you can find it with the 6.1 docs on the Developer’s Network part of the
web site:
http://www.qnx.com/developer/docs/qnx_6.1_docs/sysadmin/index.html
We’re hoping we can resume working on this book (so many people want it),
but we’re very strapped for writers right now.
I’ve seen the Sys Admin guide and it’s good. I’m just saying that a FAQ
would be a good idea, and it could be maintained by users, and give a good
over view of the easy questions, and even some of the hard ones every one
ask.

Here is what’s going on, perhaps someone has seen something like this
before.
#mount -v -t dos /dev/fd0 /fs/fd
Parsed: mount from [/dev/fd0] mount on [/fs/fd] type [dos]
Failed with external mounts, trying internal mount
#ls /fs
cd0 fd
#ls /fs/fd
No such device or address (/fs/fd)
#umount -v /fs/fd
Attempting to umount: /fs/fd
#ls /fs
cd0
/fs/fd disappears after this last command, but it’s odd that it doesn’t
recognize fd after the mount.
The same thing happens even if I use a standard mount (Non-DOS).
New diskette, old diskette it doesn’t matter.
Any ideas?
This floppy should be on the same old IRQ/IO/DMA as any other floppy. It
worked in windows, dos drdos and Slackware. I haven’t changed anything
regarding the floppy since then. QNX Demo Floppy works just fine from this
floppy drive.
