First I formatted a 3.5" disk using the command fdformat -f 1440 and it seemed to format fie. But afterwards I couldn't figure out the correct way of mounting the floppy, so I couldn't run dump. I tried mount /dev/fd0 /floppy but got an "incorrect superblock error". Should I format and/or mount a floppy differently? Doug Lerner, Tokyo
