Is devb-fdc running? Try “pidin | grep devb” and look for it. I think
it should be.

Next, is it a QNX floppy, DOS floppy, or unformatted?

If a DOS floppy, try:

mount -tdos /dev/fd0 /fs/dosa

Then, you should be able to see your floppy as /fs/dosa/

If a QNX floppy, try:

mount -tqnx4 /dev/fd0 /fs/fd0

Then, you should be able to see the QNX4 floppy as /fs/fd0/

If unformatted, you could:

fdformat /dev/fd0
dinit /dev/fd0

Then mount it as a QNX floppy.

(Note: the names, /fs/fd0 or /fs/dosa are your choice – you could
pick /fd0 or /flop or /dosa or anything else you want.)

If you want this done automatically, go to:

/etc/rc.d

And create an executable shell script called rc.local and put the
mount command(s) in there.
