[ECOS] floppy access in cygwin

["A Roturier" <roturier at hotmail dot com>]

hi,

this question was posted and asnwered awhile back. but i can't
seems to have it resolved still.

i try to copy the pre-built image of redboot for pc platform
onto floppy disc in order to boot from drive a:.

in cygwin,

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

so floppy drive is mounted correctly.

$ dd conv=sync if=redboot.bin of=/dev/fd0
dd: /dev/fd0: No such file or directory

this command takes about 8 seconds to execute before error
message is printed. and the light of floppy drive is on for
a while. i have checked the floppy and media and they work
fine in windows.

any idea? thanks for help.

kc
