Title: Mounting floppy
Post by: ronald1969 on February 21, 2005, 10:54:47 PM

Can anybody tell if it is possible to use next command on SME 6:

mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0

When I use this command I get the message "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock, on /dev/fd0, or too many mounted file systems"

What am I doing wrong?

As /dev/fd0 is already defined in /etc/fstab, doing:

# mount /dev/fd0

should mount the floppy on /mnt/floppy & auto-detect the filesystem for you.

When I do this I get the message:

mount: you must specify the filesystem type

But when I use fdformat this is working.

What is going wrong.

Is there anyone who can help me to solve my problem mounting a floppy.

I have tried much, but nothing worked.
