/dev/fd0 is a device, not a filesystem. You can't cd to /dev/fd0 anymore
than you can cd to /dev/clipboard.

OK that's an inappropriate example.
Back to my original question. My cygwin is of version
1.3.10. The command dd failed because it does know
/dev/fd0.

$ dd conv=sync if=install/bin/redboot.bin of=/dev/fd0
dd: opening `/dev/fd0': No such file or directory
(instruction from Redboot User Guide)

What does the 'mount' command display?  Do you still have /dev/fd0
"mounted"?

I tried in both cases:

$ mount
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
\\.\a on /dev/fd0 type user (binmode)
a: on /a type user (textmode)
c: on /ecos-c type user (textmode)
c: on /c type user (textmode)

home@DEFAULT /tmp/build/redboot
$ umount /dev/fd0

home@DEFAULT /tmp/build/redboot
$ mount
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
a: on /a type user (textmode)
c: on /ecos-c type user (textmode)
c: on /c type user (textmode)

home@DEFAULT /tmp/build/redboot
$ dd conv=sync if=install/bin/redboot.bin of=/dev/fd0
dd: opening `/dev/fd0': No such file or directory

[ECOS] copy redboot to floppy on cgywin

[max rtos]

Hi I have built redboot for PC target.
Here is how I did (fellowing the user guide).
1)in my build directory.
$ECOSDIR/host/configure --prefix=$TEMP/redboot-build
--with-tcl=/usr 
make
2)ecosconfig new pc redboot  
  ecosconfig inport
$(ECOS_REPOSITORY)/hal/i386/pc/current/misc/redboot_FLOPPY.ecm
 ecosconfig tree
make
3)format the floppy on DOS format /u a:
4)in Cygwin
mount -f -b //./a: /dev/fd0
dd conv=sync if=install/bin/redboot.bin of=/dev/fd0
then I got 
/dev/fd0: can not find the file or directory
What do I need to check????

But it did not seem to give a error when I did

dd conv=sync if=install/bin/redboot.bin of=a:
In this case, when I use the floppy on a PC,
After BIOS shows up, It complains
"In valid system dick, "
can not go on.

How should it be???



environement: Win98, cygwin, ecos configuration tool
1.3.net. Repository: updated on Feb28.

Erk. Perhaps this went away in cygwin 1.3.3 as well and I never noticed!

I'm CC'ing this to the cygwin list for an answer...

Cygwin dudes, how do you now get direct access to a floppy disk, i.e.
sector by sector, not the logical drive?

It went away in 1.3.4, actually.  This should explain how things work now:

RE: [ECOS] copy redboot to floppy on cgywin

[Max]

I updated my cyggwin (Of cause I did not grab all packages). My cygwin does
not know
the /dev/fd0 yet. Which
packages I have to absolutely to have in order to recognize the floppy
drive?
Thanks.

You shouldn't need to update. From what it says you can just use /dev/fd0
and ignore the "mount". But if that doesn't work, try just updating the
cygwin dll itself.

Sorry, I did get it yet. Cygwin is a big set of programs, which one do
you mean?
Cygwin people, I did not see cygwin dll from cygwin setup window.

Mine is 1.3.10. It does not seem to know /dev/fd0...
$ cd /dev/fd0
BASH: cd: /dev/fd0: No such file or directory

If
dd conv=sync if=install/bin/redboot.bin of=a:
can perform. Should it put the image correctly? What do we can expect?
