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

msdosfs

MSDOSFS(5)						      BSD File Formats Manual							MSDOSFS(5)

NAME

     msdosfs -- MS-DOS file system

SYNOPSIS

     options MSDOSFS

DESCRIPTION

     The msdosfs driver will permit the FreeBSD kernel to read and write MS-DOS based file systems.

     The most common usage follows:

	   mount -t msdosfs /dev/ada0sN /mnt

     where N is the partition number and /mnt is a mount point.  Some users tend to create a /dos directory for msdosfs mount points.  This helps
     to keep better track of the file system, and make it more easily accessible.

     It is possible to define an entry in /etc/fstab that looks similar to:

     /dev/ada0sN	     /dos    msdosfs	     rw      0	     0

     This will mount an MS-DOS based partition at the /dos mount point during system boot.  Using /mnt as a permanent mount point is not advised
     as its intention has always been to be a temporary mount point for floppy and ZIP disks.  See hier(7) for more information on FreeBSD direc-
     tory layout.
