Using DOS and Macintosh Floppy Disks

Using DOS and Macintosh Floppy Disks

The mediad daemon automatically determines the format of a floppy disk inserted in your drive and, if it is a DOS or Macintosh floppy disk, automatically mounts the filesystem on your default mount directory. Once the filesystem is mounted, you can use typical IRIX commands such as cd, ls, and pwd with it. See the mediad(1M) reference page for complete information.
