Floppy write protected?

If you type "mount" after doing the above mount command, do you see
something like:

\\.\a:  /dev/fd0        user    binmode

If not, unmount /dev/fd0 and instead use the mount command:

mount -f -b //./a: /dev/fd0

I don't know. Perhaps the stub image doesn't work :-). If this is eCos
1.3.1 I believe there should be a prebuilt stub image in the loaders
subdirectory of the eCos installation. Try that.
