I'm trying to format a floppy with a dos file system using the command "mkdosfs /dev/hdd" . I keep getting the error message "mkdosfs: Will not try to make filesystem on '/dev/hdd'". I have a "two drives in one" floppy drive that is detected in harddrake as both hdd and fd0. It won't mount as fd0 though. I don't know if this is an issue with making the filesystem or not.
What I'm trying to do is copy the patch.pl script that I need to install 8.2 to the floppy. (I have an AMD-K6 processor.) I have tried making the floppy in Windows but the installation fails. Any help appreciated, SW
