Moving a driver off a Dos floppy

You can mount dos floppies in sco unix just as if they were formated for Unix.

mount /dev/fd0 /mnt

cd /mnt

The only two things you need to note is that Unix will only see 8 letters of the name (so if you named the file whatever.doc unix is going to display it as whateve~.

The second is that you must unmount the disk ( umount /mnt) before removing the floppy disk. If you don't you could cause the system to panic.

BTLD stands for boot time loadable driver, and there are special rules for bringing a btld driver into your unix kernal when not doing an intial install. SCO should have instructions on their web site for this.

See SCO article 105694 and 109501

NAME

       gitmount - GNU Interactive Tools - auto-mount script

SYNTAX

       gitmount device

DESCRIPTION

       gitmount  is a script which allows you to mount any block device without specifying the file system type.  You may now insert the floppy in
       the drive and type  ' gitmount fd0' and the first floppy will be mounted in the directory /mnt/fd0.  On Linux just press F11 or	F12.   You
       don't need to know the file system type anymore. The directories /mnt/fd0 and /mnt/fd1 are created if they don't exist.
