|question: I have a SparcStation 1 with a floppy drive. I want to use
|floppies as small file systems. In the STB of last July there were some
|hints on how to do this:
|
|     mkfs /dev/rfd0c 2844 18 2
|
|and now you should be able to mount it. I don't what I did wrong but this
|doesn't work for me. When I try to mount it on, say, /diskette: 
|
|     mount /dev/fd0c /diskette 
|
|I get the error message:
|
|     mount: /dev/fd0c on /diskette: No such device or address


try:

	newfs /dev/rfd0a
	mount /dev/fd0a /whatever

it works fine for me.
