hmmm,
I am trying to read some old MS-DOS files from floppy onto my linux box.
Originally, I did not have FAT filesystem support in my kernel, but I
built the module and installed it. I still get no success when I try to
mount a floppy (as root even):
dp:~# mount /dev/fd0 /root/fd0
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
dp:~# lsmod
Module Size Used by
fat 29120 0 (unused)
emu10k1 40960 1
ac97_codec 7492 0 [emu10k1]
dp:~# mount -t fat /dev/fd0 /root/fd0
mount: fs type fat not supported by kernel
dp:~#
Am I missing something obvious here?
aloha,
dave
