[SLE] Adding fat to Kfstab
I thought it would be easy. Famous last words. All I want to do is add hda1 hda2 hda3 to fstab. They are fat partitions. I was logged in as root. I did add support to the kernel for these partition types. I started Kfstab chose add new then hda1 etc and then chose type fat or vfat. Then when it asked mount name I just did win1 etc. This does not seem to work when I go to /mnt nothing is there. I even saw someone do this over the weekend on another machine but theirs worked. What did I miss? Any info apprciated.

If you are looking for them under /mnt then make sure you named them /mnt/win1 etc. (it's not clear from your post that you did this).

Actually Kfstab prompted for a name for hda1 in /mnt so i chose /mnt/win1 but when I goto /mnt it is not there. Do I need to manually create dir win1. Kfstab gave me the impression that it was doing this.I will try to add just to see if it works.
