A floppy is not vfat.
oh, ok, silly me..cat just kicked me
try a simple "mount /media/floppy".
wil do....ok, just hangs, and then gives the following,
[root@localhost ~]# mount /media/floppy
/dev/fd0: Invalid argument
mount: /dev/fd0: can't read superblock
The system should see the proper
filesystem type and mount it. Is is after all in fstab with filesystem
type "auto"
unfortunately, not for me..cheers.
P.S. On the box that the floppy was created, when booting up today, and
doing a cd /media/floppy and a ls it displays the content of the floppy,
and cat "file name" displays the content of the file on the
floppy..thing is, the floppy wasn't even in the floppy drive at the
time..why does it keep a copy of something like that.? Is this to do
with Linux as a filesystem, even for blocks(meaning, because it was
mounted, and I guess not mounted, it still exits, virtually .?)...
