Several. We need to know what command you are using to format
the floppy and put a filesystem on it, and we also need to know
what command you use for mounting it.
Assuming you have /mnt/floppy as an existing hard drive
directory,
try this:
prompt# fdformat /dev/fd0H1440
prompt# mke2fs -c /dev/fd0
prompt# mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
Then see if it works. If it DOES, then you may not have the
mount point defined in /etc/fstab (at least for ext2).
Many folks simply issue "mount /mnt/floppy" but that is a shortcut
that assumes things not in evidence (proper fstab entry).
Let us know.
