This is how I did it: I mkdir:ed /a and /amd, wrote an init-script that
does
amd -x fatal,error,user,warn -l syslog /amd /etc/amd.map 2>/dev/null
(include it in rc.local if you want)
and in /etc/amd.map----------------------------
floppy type:=program;\
mount:="/bin/mount mount -t auto -o defaults,nosuid /dev/fd0
/${fs}";\
unmount:="/bin/umount umount /${fs}"
cdrom type:=program;\
mount:="/bin/mount mount -t auto -o defaults,ro /dev/hdc
/${fs}";\
unmount:="/bin/umount umount /${fs}"
-----------------------------------------------
There is reportedly a way _in_linux_ to use
floppy type:=ufs;dev:=/dev/fd0;opts:="type=auto,conv=auto"
but I haven't been able to get that to work.
And then I have
ln -s /amd/floppy /mnt/floppy
ln -s /amd/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
They are accessible as /amd/floppy, but on the symlinks <TAB>-completion
works.
I also wrote a script called 'flush' that unmounts the floppy and cdrom
flush------------------------
#!/bin/bash
echo -n "Flushing... "
/usr/sbin/amq -u /amd/cdrom
/usr/sbin/amq -u /amd/floppy
if /usr/sbin/amq | grep -q "/amd/floppy"; then
echo "Failed flush?! (try again)"
else
echo "OK, you may remove the disk now."
fi
-----------------------------
You should add a line in /etc/rpc to get this script to work:
amq 300019 amd
There is a lot more you can do with amd.
Hope this helps.
