/etc/default/msdos
This file contains the mapping of UNIX
devices to MS-DOS® drive letters and types.
It gives the user a choice of the following drives:
A-
Floppy drive A
X-
Another name for floppy drive A
B-
Floppy drive B
Y-
Another name for floppy drive B
C-
undefined, or MS-DOS partition of hard disk 0 (see below)
D-
MS-DOS partition of hard disk 0 or 1 (see below)
As delivered, /etc/default/msdos defines D
as /dev/dsk/c0b0t0d0p1
(the first partition of hard disk 0).
This definition assumes that the first entry in the
fdisk(1M)
partition table defines the MS-DOS partition.
If the first entry in the fdisk
partition table does not define the
MS-DOS partition, the p1
part of the disk name will need to be changed to point
to the correct entry.
This information also applies to the second entry in the partition
table file, if a second MS-DOS partition has been defined.
If an application expects C
to be the MS-DOS partition of hard disk 0,
the administrator can uncomment the line
defining C and comment out the line defining
D as the MS_DOS partition of hard disk 0.
Further, the administrator can uncomment a line defining
D as /dev/dsk/c0b0t0d0p1
if an application expects D
to be the MS-DOS partition of hard disk 1.
The /etc/default/msdos
file will need to be modified to reflect the current configuration,
that is, which /dev
node(s) are currently pointing to DOS partitions.
