On my computer at least the superdisk is found on /dev/hdc you will need to
check where yours found. You might find it in the start up screen as it
scrolls by.
You can then create a directory in /mnt called "ls120" or whatever your
fancy. You can then mount the superdisk to /mnt/ls120.
mount -t vfat /dev/hdc /mnt/ls120 inserting your computers
variables for hd"c" and the mount points name.
If you modify your fstab in /etc/fstab you can then mount by mount
/mnt/ls120
You can also control read-write, user mounts etc in that file.
Hope this helps. I am yet to see after changing my bios to mode 3 for A
drive so the superdisk is seen as A drive in windows whether this will allow
a boot disk to be made. I doubt this as said previous the superdisk is an
IDE . You can't stick a disk in /dev/fd0 because for me there is no
hardware device on the floppy port. Linux is basically hardware based not
software resolved like windows.
