Re: how to mount floppy disk on rescue mode
Thanks for your reply.
Would you please give me details of how to mount the floppy disk and check and copy floppy files to redhat linux box local disk like /tmp.
/dev no floppy file and /mnt/floppy is empty.

Re: how to mount floppy disk on rescue mode
I tried:
# mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
through check # ls /mnt/floppy, those files aren't the files that floppy disk.

Re: how to mount floppy disk on rescue mode
mkdir /mnt/fd0
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0
mount /dev/floppy is usually a symlink to /dev/fd0, or whatever the device file for your floppy is. once mounted you us the cp command to copy the file(s) from /mnt/fd0 to /tmp.

Re: how to mount floppy disk on rescue mode
According as your method and steps, I have mounted the floppy disk to /mnt/fd0
but, through check /mnt/fd0, those data aren't the data of floppy disk.
with # floppy -p I could found my floppy is /dev/fd0 3.5'HD.
but with command #strings /dev/fd0 I found the data in the fd0 not the data of my floppy disk.
so, fd0 wrong, mnt/fd0 wrong too.
so what happied of my /dev/fd0.
BTW, my server is HP Proland Blade server, i used virtual Floppy drive, but I am sure I connect the desktop A: as linux BOX floppy device.

Re: how to mount floppy disk on rescue mode
# mkdir /floppy
# mount /dev/fd0 /floppy
# ls /floppy
see if the directory listing is correct. then you would have to copy the files to /mnt/sysimage/tmp/.

Re: how to mount floppy disk on rescue mode
Yes, I have run #chroot /mnt/sysimage
and according as your above steps, mkdir and mount /dev/fd0 to mount point. But in rescue mode maybe different with normal mode. the /dev/fd0 file through checked with command strings /dev/fd0, wrong data in the /dev/fd0, I have no idea why it like this, I have inserted another floppy disk into floppy disk "driver" (used "HP iLO", as we know, we used virtual floppy). but /dev/fd0 probably didn't link to floppy disk. so I could not mount correct data to /mnt/floppy.
How to fix it or do u have another method transfer some 1.3 MB data to a linux box that running in rescue mode?

Basically you could setup an nfs server on your hp-ux box and mount it from redhat. this would be the syntax
mount server:\nfs_export_dir \some_mount_point
