Hi all,
I have dropped MDK9.0 and have installed Debian 3.0 (I know the stuff is a 
bit older, but it is a good way to learn more about how things run in Linux 
IMHO as everything isn't done for you.
Anyway I have got it installed ok and I am setting up my 'mounts'.
I have got my DVD, CDRW, Floppy and Windows partition set up ok.
But when I setup my 100Meg Iomega Zip drive (Internal, 1st IDE, slave) I am 
so far unable to get it to mount. When mounting I get:

paradox:/home/craig# mount -t vfat /dev/hdb /mnt/zip
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb,
� � � �or too many mounted file systems

This is my fstab entry for the zip:

/dev/hdb � � � �/mnt/zip � � � �vfat � �noauto,user � � � � � � 0 � � � 0

As I am a newbie I imagine that I have got something setup incorrectly.
Do I have to have the zip device setup on something apart from /dev/hdb ?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Craig

p.s. I have tried several zip disks, all formatted and working from Win98
