- Well I finally got the netbsd system up with xwindows-et-all.
- However now I want to transfer work I do on netbsd back into the
- amiga. The amiga partition seems to be read only, and I cannot
- mount an msdos disk. I figured an msdos disk would be the
- ideal solution but if I try:
- mount -f msdos /dev/fd0a /mnt
- it gronks the drive for a second and complains that the device
- does not support it. (maybe it wants a high-density disk only?)
-
- Im not a whiz at this stuff yet and would appreciate any pointers
- as to how to do this. NetBSD does not support the rapidfire
- scsi card so all I have is the a4000 ide drive (and one amiga
- partition of 15 Megs on it), and the floppy.
-
- Other questions (anyone know these?)
- How would I go about telling netbsd I have a postscript laser
- printer? (hp4).
-
- How can I make netbsd automatically mount the amiga partition?
- I tried adding information in the fstab and then
- did a mount -A but no luck.
-
- anyway, thanks a lot :)
-
- bye,
- Doug
