We've just installed 386BSD by creating the bootable floppy
on a PC, booting from it, and then using the loadfd command
to read the many distribution files from good old dos-format
floppies.

Now we want to transfer some more stuff on dos floppies,
but we can't find loadfd anywhere on the system, OR on
the bootable BSD floppy?  What's the deal?

Or, another solution, is there any way to mount a dos-formatted
floppy as a filesystem (a la 'mount /pcfs' in SunOS)???

Yes, this is probably a dumb one, but no flames, please.

Thanks.
