Today, Plasmatik6@aol.com, spilled the beans:
> How do I access my floppy drive from command line?
The first floppy drive is a block device accessable as /dev/fd0
What you will want to do with this information is apply it into a mounting
command.
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /floppy (for a dos/windows disk)
or
mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /floppy (for a linux disk)
you can then access the floppy disks files at /floppy
you can format a new linux disk by doing:
mkfs /dev/fd0
if the disk is of either ext2 or vfat you can most likey mount it without
specifying the "-t vfat" or "-t ext2"
also, if in your /etc/fstab there is a line for the floppy disk, you can
just do mount /floppy
