man mount will give you the exact command useage, but instead
of the wildcard mode of fd0, you might have to specify the exact
device name.
But it's basically:
/etc/mount special-device-name mountdirectory [-r]
The only flag SCO Xenix has to mount it -r , for read only.
mount /dev/fd0135ds18 /mnt is an example.
The name will be /dev/fd or /dev/rfd followed by the number of
the device 0 or 1, followed by the number of tracks, followed by
the number of sectors per track.
fd096ds15 would be a 5.25" highdensity floppy, while fd0135ds18
would be a 1.44MB 3.5" device.
And if it won't mount it may not be a Xenix filesystem.
Use the -r for read only so you won't have to fsck it.
