mounting usb floppy in OSR6
I wish it were that easy.
Without the usb floppy plugged in, I have in the /dev/dsk dir:
brw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 7679,184 Dec 12 17:19 c0b0t0d0p0
with it plugged in I have:
brw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 7679,184 Dec 12 17:19 c0b0t0d0p0
brw-rw-rw- 3 root sys 0,184 Dec 12 17:19 c3b0t0d0p0
The '< c0b0t0d0p0' command returns nothing. The light on the USB floppy doesn't blink, no errors or anything it just goes to the # prompt on the next line.
The '< c3b0t0d0p0' command returns: "c3b0t0d0p0: cannot open"
The TA's on SCO's website are not very helpful. They only address loading HBA drivers from a USB floppy during install. I used a regular floppy at install, but now I need to make a USB floppy work.

mkbootdisk
MKBOOTDISK(8) System Manager's Manual MKBOOTDISK(8) NAME
mkbootdisk - creates a stand-alone boot floppy for the running system SYNOPSIS
mkbootdisk [--version] [--noprompt] [--verbose] [--device devicefile] [--size size] [--kernelargs <args>] [--iso] kernel DESCRIPTION
mkbootdisk creates a boot floppy appropriate for the running system. The boot disk is entirely self-contained, and includes an initial ramdisk image which loads any necessary SCSI modules for the system. The created boot disk looks for the root filesystem on the device sug- gested by /etc/fstab. The only required argument is the kernel version to put onto the boot floppy. OPTIONS
--device devicefile The boot image is created on devicefile. If --device is not specified, /dev/fd0 is used. If devicefile does not exist mkinitrd cre- ates a 1.44Mb floppy image using devicefile as the filename. --noprompt Normally, mkbootdisk instructs the user to insert a floppy and waits for confirmation before continuing. If --noprompt is specified, no prompt is displayed. --verbose Instructs mkbootdisk to talk about what it's doing as it's doing it. Normally, there is no output from mkbootdisk. --iso Instructs mkbootdisk to make a bootable ISO image as devicefile. --version Displays the version of mkbootdisk and exits. --kernelargs args Adds args to the arguments appended on the kernel command line. If this is not specified mkbootdisk uses grubby to parse the argu- ments for the default kernel from grub.conf, if possible. --size size Uses ize (in kilobytes) as the size of the image to use for the boot disk. If this is not specified, mkbootdisk will assume a stan- dard 1.44Mb floppy device. SEE ALSO
