I guess this is a really dumb question but I have never tried to access a
floppy from within Linux before.

I am trying...

# mount /mnt/floppy

... and getting...
                      
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0,
       or too many mounted file systems                      

I have tried this with a disk I have formatted my self... using

# fdformat /dev/fd0H1440

and also tried mounting the Boot Disk that came with RedHat, same problem.

Could I have too many file systems mounted? I appear to only have two...

# mount
/dev/hda5 on / type ext2 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)

Any help REALLY appreciated, this is starting to annoy me.

thanx

pete.
