AT&T Unix system V help
Hello

How do I mount the floppy disk on a AT&T Unix system V platform from about 1989?

to be mounted, the floppy needs to be formatted AND have a FS on it.
using tar, mount and FS are not needed.

When I do that, I get this error message:

'mount: /dev/floppy or /mnt, no such file or directory'

I have also tried with fd0 and with fd1 but with no result.

have you a floppy driver on your sys ?
make a ls /dev to locate floppy and or fd?a /dev/rfd?a is also needed
i assume /mnt is there.
for all the steps root perms are required
i remember a command: fdformat
make a FS: newfd /dev/rfd0a
to mount: mount /dev/fd0a /mnt

be very very carefully

{r}fd0a are floppies
{r}sd0a are h-disks

note the small diff
