First use the 'dtype' command to determine the type of disk.
If the disk is a tar or cpio disk then you do not need to mount it in order to read the contents.
You can look at /etc/default/tar for a list of specific disk types.
tar xv6 extracts tar files from a 1.44mb floppy in drive 0.
If it is a unix1k file system, then you need to mount it using
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
@edfair......yes, of course, you are correct. Should be ds18. I've now edited my post#3. Thanks.
(It's been so long since I used SCO it's difficult to remember.)
Therefore.....
should tell you the floppy type: filesystem, cpio or tar
and
should mount it if it is type filesystem.
/dev/fd0 may well be able to be used instead of /dev/fd0135ds18 if the system is configured that way.
