i tried your problem upon my pc running rh 7.3. and both the options worked.. option 1: mount /mnt/floppy it worked.. option 2: then i went for manual mount, mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mn t/floppy even this worked.. the floppy i used was the rescue disk created by win98.. the /etc/filesystemss file also lists vfat in it. so, it could be a problem with your hardward or else. ritesh Quoting Toto Gamez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Thanks for all the response > I tried to mount it using "mount -t auto /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy" to no avail, > I also change the diskette I'm using to see if it only a diskette issue,but > it only gave me the same error > > "mount -t auto /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy" > /dev/fd0: Input/output error > mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only > /dev/fd0: Input/output error > mount: you must specify the filesystem type > > "mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy" > mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0, > or too many mounted file systems > > "mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy/" > /dev/fd0: Input/output error > mount: you must specify the filesystem type > > I checked my /etc/filsystems > > ext3 > ext2 > nodev proc > nodev devpts > iso9660 > vfat > hfs > > Is tehre anything I missed > > Regards, > Toto > > > > > > -- > redhat-list mailing list > unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list > -- Ritesh R.
