Subject: Re: [newbie] cannot mount ZIP
Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2000 07:35:21 +0100 (CET)
sda1 does not work either. :-(
Here is what Linux is telling me:
*****
[root@thor working]# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/zip
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
or too many mounted file systems
*****
My kernel does support vfat. I can mount fd0 with -t vfat...
What is wrong???
