Re: [gentoo-user] Problem on booting after installation.

[Stephen Liu]

Hi Collins,

- snip -

I already have following line on  /etc/fstab

/dev/fd0    /mnt/floppy   auto   noauto,owner,kudzu  0 0

# mount /mnt/floppy
# mount  -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
all can't work.  However this line works on other distro
Then I made following change
/dev/fd0    /mnt/floppy   auto   noauto,user  0 0
# mount /mnt/floppy
mount: your must specify the filesystem type
# mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on
/dev/fd0 or too many mounted file systems
I can't understand???

The only time I get this result is if I have an unformatted or damaged floppy. 
Can you really mount this floppy successfully on another system?

Problme now solved.  I can mount another floppy created on another Linux 
box with '/mnt/floppy'  There is nothing wrong on the floppy nor its 
drive, only impossible to read bootdisk.

I tried following command without success

# mount /mnt/floppy
# mount -t ext3 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
# mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
Can you advise how to read a bootdisk.  Thanks

B.R.
Stephen
