Try mounting the floppy by explicitely mentioning the filesystem (ie with the correct -t option). > Is there a way to automacally format a disk of this format without having to > know before I put the disk in whether I should > > $ mount /mnt/floppy > or > $ mount /dev/fd0u1680 /mnt/floppy Since these floppies use different devices I don't think so. If just mounting using /dev/fd0 doesn't give you the correct result the kernel obviously doesn't automatically recognize the format of the floppy. You could add an entry for both devices in which case you could mount by issueing mount /dev/fd0 or mount /dev/fd0u1680 but you'ld still need to know how the disk was formatted.
