/dev/fd0 or whatever you are mounting any other floppy. You have to have the Mac filesystem support in your kernel and probably need to specify the filesystem (hfs) when you mount it.

Quoting scsijon :

Anyone have an idea which floppy /dev I need to select to read a floppy formatted on an old Mac. I've been asked to shift the database to SuSE Linux and have everything set except the real data.

thanks in advance scsijon

If the file system type in /etc/fstab is set to 'auto' (see man mount) you can mount a mac formatted floppy like any other floppy: mount /floppy The same goes for mounting using the floppy icon on the desktop. SH
