Won't that just mount the hda2 partition as root on the hard drive? All
the floppies I have ever worked with are device /dev/fd0. Depending on
what tk's setup is it will render his machine unbootable.
tk-
look in the file /etc/fstab (fstab = file system table) and it probably
has an entry like
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ext2 noauto
0 0
this says that a device /dev/fd0 is located at /mnt/floppy and should
let you mount it with
mount /mnt/floppy
If you want to use a dos disk us file type msdos instead of ext2
Easiest way is probably to use linuxconf to ad change it.
Why don't you explain a little more and might not hurt to read the man
pages for mount and fstab. There is a lot of good information in there.
Kim-
Could you explain a little about what happened on your machine? I
really don't understand what you were trying to say here
Hope this helps,
Bret
