Hi,
I have a diskless PC with a floppy and CDrom drive.
I can create a dos floppy without a problem, but the mount fails:
# /usr/sbin/fdformat /dev/fd0.1440
Format 1440K floppy `/dev/fd0.1440'? (y/n): y
Processing done.
# /sbin/disklabel -B -r -w /dev/fd0 fd1440

# mount_msdos /dev/fd0c /mnt
mount_msdos: vfsload(msdos): Exec format error
Same problem occurs for a CDrom:
# mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom
cd9660: vfsload(cd9660): Exec format error
The diskless machine has:
/modules/msdos.ko
/modules/cd9660.ko
Probably related to this are these lines in /var/log/messages:
Mar 6 13:09:33 diskless //kernel: link_elf: symbol s_lock_init undefined
Any ideas what's going wrong here?
I'll answer my own question here:
When I add two options to the KERNEL config file:
options MSDOSFS
options CD9660
and use that kernel for my diskless PC, I can mount
floppy and CDrom.
Strange, because usually this is not needed for casual
mounts of these devices.
Cheers,
Rob.
