- I have compiled mount from the tsx-11 mount-src.tar.Z file, including a patch
- that was sent to me by some one on the net (I forgot who ... sorry :-(
-
- I can mount/umount minix file systems and the /etc/fstab stuff is working,
- but for the life of me, I cannot mount a DOS partition or floppy. I am
- using the following command:
-
- mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /mnt
-
- /dev/hda1 is my C: drive for DOS. The message I get back from mount is:
-
- magic match failed
- /dev/hda1 already mounted or /mnt busy
-
- Well, I know /dev/hda1 is not already mounted and /mnt has nothing on it.
- What I am missing here??
