No dice. I tried your suggested command, except that I changed /dev/fd0 to /dev/fd1, since I need the 5.25-inch drive, not the 3.5-inch drive, but other than that it was just as you suggested. No mount, no error message. The only output from dmesg is the original warning message: FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystems, filesystem will be case sensitive! which also comes out on the terminal, since I am issuing the command from an active Linux virtual console, not a terminal emulation window in X. -- .''`.
