As described in the cv_cygwin1.dll.README, raw device support
on W95 is restricted to raw partitions. So, 

	mount -b //./a: /dev/fd0

or e.g.

	mount -b //./e: /dev/zip

both work. 

NT also has the ability, to address a complete disk
device as one single raw device, regardless of the count of
partitions on it. This is addresses by e.g.:

	mount -b //./physicaldrive0 /dev/hda

or else. This isn't possible on W9X.

Regards,
Corinna
