G'day...
Have you tried:
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
and/or
mount /dev/fd0 -t auto /mnt/floppy
?
These may work...
All the best...
Mike

Subject: [SLUG] Mounting a floppy drive, RH8.0
I've just installed RH 8.0 on the laptop.
I tried to keep what went on to a minimum (in truth, I do not
understand what many of the applications do) but the installation
did, at least, complete itself.
I wanted to move some files from a floppy to the hard disc, so I
followed the booklet and, at root, typed
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
and was told
mount: fs type msdos not supported by kernel
So, was it
1) something I should have included in the installation?
If so, I'll go back to the discs and pick up the missing bit if
someone could tell me what it is, or is it simply
2) something I have to tell the system?
Any help ...
Bill Bennett.
