I've been running FreeBSD since last July on a PC at my home office. All I do with it is host several domains and their websites. I've never had a problem mounting the floppy, zip, or CD drives and now, all of a sudden, I can't.

the command "mount /fd" returns:

fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 0 of 0-3 (TS0 40<abnrml> ST1<no_am> ST2 0 cyl 0 hd 0 sec 1)
msdos: /dev/fd0: Input/output error

command &quot;mount /zp&quot; returns:
msdos: /dev/da0s4: Device not configured

and &quot;mount /cdrom&quot; returns:
cd9660: /dev/acd0c: Input/output error


FYI, here's what my fstab looks like:

/dev/ad0s1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
/dev/fd0 /fd msdos rw,noauto 0 0
/dev/da0s4 /zp msdso rw,noauto 0 0

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

 
you might have to make the directory /floppy

to mount freebsd file system on floppy use
mount /dev/fd0 /floppy

msdos file system
mount_msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy

this is what i use
hope it helps
