Have you tried a different floppy drive? Have you
double-checked the connections on the back of the floppy
drive and to the motherboard?
Also, we're NOT talking about an LS-120 are we? If so all
bets are off, 'cause it won't work with /dev/fd0.

Civilemethat's what it says to do at mandrakeuser.org, but
did you try it? I did. It didn't work here. Your
instructions differed slightly from mandrakeuser.org's
instructions however, in that you say to add a line containing
'ext2fs' to the /etc/filesystems file and mandrakeuser.org's
ins
Thanks to all who replied to my post. I am retiring for a period of
quiet reflection and experimentation after reading the Mandrakeuser
notes Civileme pointed me to and will report success or otherwise.

DennisI can read both. Here's my fstab:

/dev/sdb1 /mnt/dos_sdb1 vfatuser,exec,umask=0 0 0

Ramonwow, great post! I've archived it under Ramon's_Rants
(as suggested by someone in an earlier thread on modems).
Anyhow, Dale's fstab lines w/supermount are not wrong, just
different than the normal syntax we are used to. In fact
supermount (along with its associated fstab lines) work
Here's my fstab, I'm running Mandrake 7.02
/dev/sda1 /mnt/DOS_sda1 vfatuser,exec,conv=auto 0 0
/dev/sda5 /mnt/DOS_sda5 vfatuser,exec,conv=auto 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/DOS_hda1 vfatuser,exec,conv=auto 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/DOS_hda5 vfatuser,exec,conv=auto 0
/dev/hda8 / ext2 noatime 1 1
try the following line.

No, with supermount running his is at least plausibly close.
Supermount changes all the rules . . .
but I've found that supermount doesn't work worth beans and just screws
everything up (plus it's totally undocumented in Mandrake), so I've
removed it by use the "Linux Classic" approach you sugg

/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount rw,fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0
or
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto sync,user,nosuid,unhide,rw 0 0
Either one should work.
Depends on your system.

Ramon,
Thankyou for your concise and thoughtful reply. I have saved it for future
reference. I have tried the entries you suggested for my fstab file and
it just isn't working. I am including a copy of my fstab file in hopes
someone can point out what I'm doing wrong here. I am able to mount vfat

I just decided to give Mandrake 7.0 a try after using Redhat 6.1 for about a
month and a half. Here's my problem:
