ok, I found the device, just ran the netbsd setup enough steps until it
told me what it was. now, however, when I run
mount_msdos -l /dev/wd0 /mnt
I get the error
mount_msdos: /dev/wd0 on /mnt: No such file or directory
/mnt exists. I get the same error if I try a new (empty) directory. If I
try a nonexistent directory, I get:
mount_msdos: stat /xxx: No such file or directory
Any ideas?
thanks
