Hello,
To access a drive in Linux (or any other Un*x for that matter) you have to
mount the device at a mount point in the existing file system. To mount my
DOS partition i use this:
mount /dev/hda2 /dos -t msdos
^ ^ ^
| | Refers to the file system type you are mounting
The mount point, an empty directory in your filesystem
Refers to the device being mounted. In this case the 2nd
partition of the a IDE hard drive
To mount the floppy drive use something like this
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt -t msdos
For more info read the mount(8) man page.
Oh, by the way, the unmount command is umount (without the n) for some unclear
reason.
