Hey, i was playing witht he mod and ive been having issues witht the disk drives. I cant seem to get them to mount or format a floppy. the guidebook says that they should default to /dev/vdX/ but that doesnt seem to be the case.
ive attached a screenshot of what mount says when run.
is the guidebook just out of date (understandable given the mod is still WIP) or is this a bug?
This may be a little unclear due to assumptions of existing knowledge. If that's the case, I'll try to rephrase the docs. So let's see, since you only showed the output of mount, here's my suspicion of where the misunderstanding lies:
- It is not automatically mounted.
- It should show up as
/dev/vdb
e.g. (if there's only one hard drive). So if you dols /dev/vd*
you should see it. - It will be unformatted at first, so you'll need to run
mke2fs
on it. - So: does
mke2fs /dev/vdb && mkdir /mnt/floppy && mount /dev/vdb /mnt/floppy
work?
