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
