	Presuming you've put a standard file system on it and
mounted it (see below) you treat it like any other unix directory.
	ls /floppy				# presumes you did what's below
>tried to mount the floppy, first by using mkfs and then mount, but it won't
	diskformat /dev/rfloppy0		# format
	mkfs /dev/rfloppy0 800			# install file system
	mkdir /floppy				# make mount point
	mount /dev/rfloppy0 /floppy		# make it available
has worked fine every time I've tried it.
>mount.  I can't even get the Mac II to eject the floppy.  Any ideas?
	eject 0					# floppy 0
	eject 1					# floppy 1

	Yes.  Many Mac applications can be run from the A/UX filesystem
by uploading them using macget.  For instance:
	macget foo
	mv foo.data foo
	mv foo.rsrc foo.res
	launch foo
