For starters, I would install the /usr/ports/emulators/mtools port. This allows you to format, read, and write to floppies like you would from DOS. For using floppies under FreeBSD you may want to take a look at the following handbook page: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/floppies.html Thanks, Josh Paetzel _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
