Hi -

Just installed RH 5.0.  I've been trying to share a smallish disk
between RH and Windows95.  The linux partition is linux-native and the
windows is FAT16.

I want the FAT16 partition to be mounted at bootup in umsdos mode, so
that I can actually *use* it.  However, mount gives this complaint:

mount: /dev/hda3 has wrong device number or fs type umsdos not
supported

Here's the punchline: the partition mounts fine from the command line,
after linux is up and running. (mount -t umsdos /dev/hda3 /mnt/msdos)

The actual line in my fstab file reads
/dev/hda3       /mnt/msdos      umsdos  defaults 0 0

Anybody else run into this one?  I don't want to mount the partition
as type msdos or vfat, because then the permissions and ownerships are
pretty much useless.

thanks in advance, 
--darkness
