Problems with mount command

[Bruno A . C . Ferreira]

Hi,

I'm having some problems with the mount command.

First, I created the devices hd1 and fd0 with MAKEDEV.
# cd /dev
# MAKEDEV hd1
# MAKEDEV fd0

But when I try to mount hd1:

# mount /dev/hd1 /cdrom/

the system returns:

ext2fs: /dev/hd1: panic: get_hypermetadata: bad magic number 0 (should be 
0xef53)
mount: cannot start translator /hurd/ext2fs: translator died

If I try to mount the floppy:

# mount /dev/fd0 /floppy -t ext2

the system says:

ext2fs: /dev/fd0: panic: get_hypermetadata: disk size (737280) too small;
superblock says we need 1474560

Two questions:

The Caps Lock key does not work. How do I enable it?

If I ls /dev , then I have lots of term and storeio processes running. Why? 
Why ls start these processes?

Thanks,

Bruno A. Costa
