SGI IRIX versions 4.0.x and 5
PC/DOS-formatted diskettes can be easily mounted in the SGI environment. For
more information, print out the appropriate
man pages on your system.
IRIX version 4.0.x uses the msdosd daemon to mount a floppy diskette.
IRIX version 5 uses the mediad daemon to mount all types of devices, including
floppy diskettes. Both operating system versions have the utilities from_dos and
to_unix to convert files and add or remove Control-M characters.
To mount a diskette, insert the diskette into the disk drive.
msdosd
The msdosd daemon monitors a floppy diskette drive. When a diskette is inserted,
it is mounted appropriately if it is in MS-DOS format. To specify a floppy disk drive,
use the appropriate device special file in
/dev/rdsk . High-density diskettes are
mounted by using floppy devices with the hi suffix.
