mount /dev/fd0
mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
so I tried mount -t vfat /dev/fd0
but that doesn't work!
Of course not. Most floppies are FAT-12 filesystems. Try just "-t
msdos" instead of vfat.
ALL MSDOS formatted floppies are FAT-12. ALL. The "vfat" refers to how
the directories get added entries for the LFNs, not how the FATS are
formatted. I prefer not to use vfat for my MSDOS formatted floppies,
because mostly I use them for sneakernet connections to my MSDOS
machines, which don't understand LFNs.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
