[NTLUG:Discuss] Trouble mounting my floppy

[Carter B. Bennett]

I know, that sounds like a personal problem, but all jokes aside, in the
fstab file it is defined as:

/dev/fd0		/mnt/floppy		ext2, noauto

I have a dir in mnt called floppy but when I try: mount /mnt/floppy as root
I get:

VFS: Can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev/fd0 (2,0).
mount: wrong fs type, bad options, bad superblock on /dev/fd0, or too many
mounted file systems.

Talk about a kitchen sink error message. What am I doing wrong ? I had just
copyed a file to this floppy from another linux box with no problems.
You may be able to kill two birds with one stone, but, in the end when it's
all over, all you really have are two dead birds, and your short one stone.
