Unable to Mount Floppy Drive
SuSE 6.4 I'm having problems mounting my floppy drive. I hadn't the need to do so for some time now; it had worked previously. The one thing I did that may have affected my situation is that I repartitioned the drives about two weeks ago as I had been getting LILO errors indicating first 1024 cylinders were not available. I had used the following command successfully: mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /0/A When I execute that command now I get the following error: mount /dev/fd0 has wrong major or minor number Here's the associated line from /etc/fstab: /dev/fd0 /0/A auto noauto, user 0 0 Here's the contents of /proc/filesystems: nodev shm nodev pipefs nodev proc ext2 minix msdos vfat iso9660 nodev smbfs ntfs nodev nfs nodev devpts Can anyone help me resolve my problem? To be honest, I don't even understand what 'wrong major or minor number' indicates or how to attempt solve this. Any and all help will be appreciated. Thanks. __________________________________________________ Pat Gorden-Ozgul BNL-ISD Systems gorden@bnl.gov 631-344-5159
