I've been trying to mount a floppy for what seems like years. But I don't have /dev/rfd0 to issue fdformat against ...
So I use su and cd /dev and sh MAKEDEV all
and I get:
mknod: <device>: Operation not permitted
/sbin/mknod <device>
where <device> is about a hundred or so standard devices, including rfd0, da0, ad0, wd1s1, etc.
What's going on here? Why is root not permitted to use mknod in /dev?

What version of FreeBSD? What security level, if any, is specified in /etc/rc.conf?

I am using FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE. All I did was:
mkdir /floppy
then
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy
works fine for me.

After I mount if I then unmount and change the files on my windows computer then remount the floppy it still shows the old files - they are stuck in cache - how do I tell it to get the new files from the floppy? I remember there is a command for this but I havent used it in a few years
Thanks
