Hello!
This weekend I saw changes from Michael Hitch integrating the msdos
support done by Ezra Story. Is this change already finished?
How is one supposed to mount msdos disks on NetBSD/amiga?
Will it be possible to mount HD msdos disks with a HD disk drive too?
I tryed it with `mount -t msdos -o ro /dev/fd0a` without success.
I also had the following effect when booting NetBSD via loadbsd
with an HD msdos disk in fd0:
The machine hangs after scanning the scsi controller (attached drives
are printed) with the following message:
fd0: corrupt track(0) data.
I have to insert a HD disk (ados) to make NetBSD notice my HD disk drive,
otherwise it is only detected as DD. So is the above behaviour a bug that
should be send-pr'ed? Or am I just too inpatient?
I would love to read HD msdos disks on my Amiga - will save me a lot
reboots :-)
Thanx for any help in advance!
Greets
