Yeah I'm sure, that's how I mount floppies on my Debian 2.2 box. '-t
msdos' mounts it with old msdos short truncated names (ie.
"micros~1.txt") while '-t vfat' tries to mount it as a fat32 drive and
recognizes long filenames (ie. "microsoft sucks.txt") and is a superset
of msdos if I'm not mistaken (mounts all sorts of fat partitions). '-t
vfat' is also nice because it recognizes dotfiles properly while '-t
msdos' hoses the names.

Where'd 512meg floppy come from?

Which works if you've got an entry for the floppy in your /etc/fstab.
