Hi!

Could someone tell me how to mount a floppy that has been formatted with an
ext2 file system. I never seem to be able to do that even if I change the
/etc/fstab fs= entry. I tried with SuSE also but could never mount an ext2
floppy!

Strange isn't it considering that ext2 is the basic filesystem for linux.
Any hints would help me in understanding why this happens.

Thanks,
Arnab

        I would suggest you check the /etc/fstab ; may be some
        *stupid* :-) configuration tool modify it and it is
        not right. For supermount it should look like this

        /dev/cdrom /dev/cdrom supermount
        fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/hdb 0 0
        /dev/floppy /dev/floppy supermount
        fs=msdos,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0

        replace with your actual cdrom device and floppy
        device.
