Here's one for my fellow old-timers in the group: On one of my Linux boxes, I have a 5" floppy which I haven't used since I purged the MS stuff from it. I wanted to read some ancient data on it. My 3.5" floppy is /dev/fd0, so I expect this to be /dev/fd1. Linux didn't assign fd1 to the fstab table (no surprise) so I tried editing it manually. This is the entry I added: /dev/fd1h1200 /mnt/floppy2 msdos defaults 0 0 When I attempt to mount it an old HD floppy, the error message is that there's either a bad superblock, bad fs type, or bad option. I've tried more than one, in case the first was bad, and yes, I have created the /mnt/floppy2 directory and made it look exactly like /mnt/floppy. Can anybody see something I might be missing?
