SYNOPSIS:     How to create and mount a floppy diskette with ufs filesystem

OS RELEASE:   2.x

PRODUCT:      Solaris

KEYWORDS:     create mount floppy diskette ufs filesystem


DESCRIPTION:

This describes how to create and access a floppy diskette as a Unix file
system (ufs filesystem type), so that you can mount it and use the
standard unix file system commands like cp, mv, etc. 


SOLUTION:

 Here, drive A (/dev/rfd0) is used as an example.  
 You can also use drive B (/dev/rfd1). 

   1. insert a blank diskette in the drive A.
   2. #newfs /dev/rfd0
   3. #mkdir /a
   4. #mount /dev/fd0 /a

Now you can access the /a directory as the same way as any other
directory in the system.  The files under /a will be stored as ufs
files.  You can unmount the diskette when done.  Just make sure you are
not under the /a directory.  Then:

   5. #umount /a.

Mount back by following step 4 above when you need to access the files
again.
