Using NetBSD 2.0 on a Mac IIvx (68030) I find I can write to the
floppy using dd:
dd if=boot.fs of=/dev/fd0a bs=36b
and it apparently works, writing the expected amount of info.
But I can't eject it using:
eject fd0
eject: open: /dev/rfdoc: No such file or directory
eject /dev/fdoa
eject: ioctl: DIOEJECT: /dev/fdoa: Inappropriate ioctl for device
What's the trick?
Then, having poked it out of the floppy slot with a paperclip and
inserted it into my 9500/120 (OF 1.0.5) which was waiting for it, all
ready to boot, I find that
boot fd0 can't open fd:0
boot fd:0 can't open fd:0
How come?
TIA,
