absi,
FS on diskette? NO. but can be as READONLY. aix can create FS image from a dir.
try:
1. use a clean directory
2. copy all file/dirs u want on diskette in this directory
3. use proto command to generate a prototype file
proto /tmp/fdfs > /tm/fd.p
4. adjust header of the file
echo '<noboot>' 0 0'> /tmp/fd.proto
sed 'ld' < /tmp/fd.p >> /tmp/fd.proto
5. generate the FS using mkfs (disk must be formatted)
mkfs -p /tmp/fd.proto -V jfs /dev/fd0
6. mount floppy
mount -p -r /dev/fd0 /mnt
'hope this work for you, it works for me.
goodluck.
