Did you mkdir /mnt/floppy mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ? Having an fstab is not necessary for mounting. However, our /etc directory is writable (it's not actually on the CD), so you can create an /etc/fstab if you need to. -- Seth David Schoen <[email protected]> | Reading is a right, not a feature! http://www.loyalty.org/~schoen/ | -- Kathryn Myronuk http://vitanuova.loyalty.org/ |
