NAME
mf, uf - Mounts/unmounts a floppy disk
SYNOPSIS
mf [-r]
uf
FLAGS
-r Indicates that the file system must be mounted read-only. If the
floppy disk is write-protected, this option must be used.
DESCRIPTION
The mf command makes a floppy file system available to users. The uf
command makes a floppy file system unavailable to users.
The mf utility first tries to mount the floppy file system as an S51K file
system. If this is unsuccessful, it tries to mount the floppy file system
as an FFS file system. When the mount is successful, the floppy file
system is mounted as /mnt.
EXAMPLES

mf
2. To mount a floppy read-only, key in the following:
mf -r
FILES
/dev/dsk/fl

WARNINGS

may contain privileged executables.
