Dale & SuSErs I cannot mount the lilo boot diskette with: mount /floppy (using the fstab entry to specify the auto option) it replies "mount you must specify the filesystem type" mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /floppy fails with reply: "wrong fs type. bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0, or too many mounted file systems" mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy fails with reply: "wrong fs type. bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0, or too many mounted file systems" mount -t minix /dev/fd0 /floppy fails with reply: "wrong fs type. bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0, or too many mounted file systems" but on a mount /floppy cmd when a msdos diskette is inserted it mounts correctly!!

it sounds like you need the "-t" option when you mount the floppy. What type of filesystem is the floppy formatted? Perhaps "msdos" or "ext2".
If the floppy is msdos format the mount command should be: mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy
just replace the parameter for the "-t" option with the appropriate filesystem type.
Let me know how it goes. ~Dale
