The following procedures give instructions for mounting the 
PC/DOS diskette on SGI IRIX versions 4.0.x and 5, and Sun 
running Solaris 2.3.  For instructions on mounting the diskette 
on a Sun OS 4.1.3, request document number 9501 from HAL, 
the automated fax system.  Refer to page 9-4 for instructions on 
using the HAL system.

PC/DOS-formatted diskettes can be easily mounted in the SGI environment.  
For more information, print out the appropriate man pages on your system.  

IRIX version 4.0.x uses the msdosd daemon to mount a floppy diskette.  
IRIX version 5 uses the mediad daemon to mount all types of devices, 
including floppy diskettes.  Both operating system versions have the utilities 
from_dos and to_unix to convert files and add or remove Control-M 
characters.

To mount a diskette, insert the diskette into the disk drive.

The msdosd daemon monitors a floppy diskette drive.  When a diskette is 
inserted, it is mounted appropriately if it is in MS-DOS format.  To specify a 
floppy disk drive, use the appropriate device special file in /dev/rdsk.  
High-density diskettes are mounted by using floppy devices with the 
hi suffix.  

The mediad daemon monitors the removable media devices on a system.  
When a diskette is inserted, it is mounted if it makes sense for that media 
type and if there is a valid file system on it.
