- I think you need to recompile mount - it worked for me. I assume
- you're using the mount from the 0.97 root disk? If so, that one didn't
- even mount floppies with the DOS filesystem properly, it just kept
- saying '/dev/fd0 already mounted or /mnt in use' or something.

- The source I'm using is from the MCC-interim distribution in the file
- misc.tar.Z.
