Title I can't mount a floppy disk after I do a fdfomat on it.x0dx0ax0dx0a
Ref. No. QNX.000010404
Category(ies) Utilities
Issue I try to mount a floppy disk for use after I have done a fdfomat on it but it fails.  Why won't this work?
Solution You must format and initialize any unformatted diskettes before you can mount the floppy device and copy files to it.  To do this you can use the following example.x0d
x0d
'fdformat -s 1.4m /dev/fd0'x09x09
  This formats the diskx0d
'dinit /dev/fd0'x09x09x09
  This initializes the diskx0d
'mount /dev/fd0 /floppy'x09x09
  This mounts the disk for use under /floppyx0d
x0d
