- What you told Linux to do was mount a linux file system on drive fd1.
- the disk isn't a linux disk.
- The solution is to either:
- 1. mkfs /dev/fd1 1440 (make the disk a linux file system)
- 2. mount -t msdos /dev/fd1 /mnt (mount an ms dos disk on /mnt)
- (the disk in fd1 must be formated w/dos format or linux fdformat)
- before any of the above allpies.
