My mcopy manual tells me to try "mcopy sourcefile targetfile".  
Targetfile is a MS-DOS drive letter like "a:" :-)

	mcopy -t /resolf.conf a:

Should do the trick, provided that there is an MS-DOS-filesystem on the
floppy.  If not, use "mformat a:" to create the filesystem and then use
mcopy.

/etc/mtools.conf should contain a line like

	drive a: file="/dev/fd0" exclusive

This defines "a:" to be your first floppy drive.

So long, Stephan
