I have been trying to mount msdos floppies as follows:

mount -t msdos /dev/fd0d /floppy

mount /dev/fd0d /floppy

mount /dev/fd0 /floppy

etc.

All I get are error messages.

What is the trick?

I am running NetBSD-1.3.3 on a PCI bus i386 Pentium machine.
Floppies are formated under Windows 95.  I also tried formatting a floppy with fdformat:

fdformat /dev/fd0

No luck in mounting.
