here's my ordinary uninteresting fstab

/dev/hda1 /mnt/dos vfat defaults,users,umask=0  0  0

I run my linux os on any given machine each week and 'carry' it as a hard 
drive (hdbX), hence the dos primary disk and partition, because it's no 
interest to me what the machine is normally used for. The above is real 
standard syntax regardless.

if still no go, I need to see some 'pristine' /var/log/messages, you need to 
knock out any automounters, reboot, then mount the dos drive, before you do 
that, look at /etc/mtab to be CERTAIN the dos drive is not mounted.

i need to see tail /var/log/messages, and
lsmod

immediately after you mount.
