FMS Disk troubles

Here is the Aminet link:

I've read the docs, but am VERY lost.

First off it says to append the Mount list to the current one in your Devs directory. Well I never had one. Secondly you are supposed to copy the fmsdisk.device file directly to the devs: directory, which sounded odd. It then says to assign FMS: to a folder on your hard drive. I pulled up a CLI prompt and did so. It then said to type mount FF0:.

I did all this, and nothing happened. Anyone else get this to work?

A mountlist is a file descriving devices which was used under os 1.x, since 2.0 every device has it's separate mountfile instead. Create an "FMS" text file under Devs:DosDrivers with the lines that the docs wanted you to add to the mountlist, compare it with an other mountfile (e.g. PC0) to check for errors in the syntax. Copy and rename an icon for it (e.g. pc0.info to fms.info), double-clicking the icon should mount the device.
