mdir problems

Post by Milind D Paranj » Thu, 06 Apr 1995 04:00:00



Hi all,

Im having problems with mdir c:.  I have a single line in
my /etc/mtools file starting with "C".  It reads:

C /dev/hda1 16 0 0 0

It's not mounted anywhere else.  When I issue the mdir c:
command, I get /dev/hda1: bad FAT error, or something
of the sort.  I can mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /dosc just
fine.  Does it have anything to do with fips?  I've even
run dosemu without problems.

Thanks for any tips.

Milind

First, tell me what mdir is?  mkdir you mean?

E-mail me some more specifics; I don't really understand what your problem
is.

1. mdir Problem

The other evening I mounted /dev/fd1. I then type mdir /dev/fd1 and,
instead of looking at /dev/fd1, it tried to read /dev/fd0.
What happened ???
