You have a couple (at least) options:
change the fstab entry to use the msdos type
add a /mnt/winfloppy entry and add another icon for it
I chose the /mnt/winfloppy configuration since I use both file types of
floppies.
Your best bet is to use linuxconf to make these changes regardless.
Assuming you do this in an xterm
As root
linuxconf
scroll down to the access local file system
add or edit the entry depending on what you want to do.
get out of linuxconf
mount /mnt/floppy
or
mount /mnt/winfloppy
The mount command looks to the fstab (file system table) for the parameters to
use when a directory is mounted. the -type command line parameter overrides
the fstab entry.
The default os to create the /mnt/floppy as an ext2 filesystem which is why
mounting a win/dos disk did not work.
For more info try man fstab and man mount
Hope this helps,
Bret
