If I could add my 2 cents worth, I have tried every combination
suggested by Ramon and Silkythreads without success. For me, I have to
change the device entry to /mnt/fd0 to get even vfat to work
(/mnt/floppy won't work and /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device). I
believe the problem is related to supermount and would be interested to
see the fstab file from anyone who is able to read both vfat and ext2
floppies in L-M7.0 with supermount enabled.
As a matter of interest man fs says that /proc/filesystems shows the
filesystems currently supported by the kernel; that file is empty on my
system. Is that related?
