The floppy disk drive connects via a USB interface. First of all, create
(as root) a directory to mount it in:
$ mkdir /mnt/floppy
Then you can mount it using:
$ mount /dev/sda /mnt/floppy
I wrote a little shell script to make mounting and unmounting a bit easier (run as root):
#! /bin/bash clear echo Floppy mount/unmount utility OPTIONS="Mount Unmount Cancel" select opt in $OPTIONS; do if [ "$opt" = "Cancel" ]; then echo Quitting... break elif [ "$opt" = "Mount" ]; then echo echo Mounting /dev/sda mount /dev/sda /mnt/floppy echo break elif [ "$opt" = "Unmount" ]; then echo echo Unmounting /dev/sda umount /dev/sda echo break else clear echo bad option fi done echo Complete sleep 3
