Hi,
From my reading of src/sys/dev/isa/fd.c, it seems that on
NetBSD/atari, we need to mount different "partitions" of the floppy device
depending on the density of the floppy disk. In particular:
360K ---> mount -t msdos /dev/fd0a /mnt
720K ---> mount -t msdos /dev/fd0b /mnt
1.44M ---> mount -t msdos /dev/fd0c /mnt
Is this correct? Why is the atari density-to-partition mapping different
from the other NetBSD platforms?
Please reply directly as I'm not subscribed to this list.
Thanks!
