- If I recall properly, the shell command for a 10 sector disk is
-
- fdfmt10.nl
-
- Meaning; floppy disk format 10 sector - no loader.
-
- then you can mount from User Agent easily with
-
- /mnt
-
- or from the shell with:
-
- mount /dev/rfp021 /mnt
-
- This places the disk root directory logically on the mnt directory. The
- mnta, mntb don't mean anything since these are just directories and not
- devices. I suppose they're a matter of convenience for those of us with
- 3 floppy devices like 5.25, 3.50, and floppy tape in one box. 8-)
