I'm using BSD386 release 0.1 on my intel 386 .. how do I mount a floppy
disk ??  I can read ms-dos files from the disk with "mread" but "mwrite"
doesn't work.  I try something like:

mount -t msdos /dev/fd0a /mnt

says, cannot find file mount_msdos, blah blah blah...
the regular mount /dev/fd0a /mnt says bad block header or something.  In
case you havent guessed yet I'm new at this stuff but got a unix manual
today and am studying hard! :)

        thanks, Andrew Brault
