- Well I am running 0.97p2 MCC-INTERIM and just tried the MSDOS mount with
- your
- command line and no problem.....

- What kinda of drive is your dos drive, what version of LNX you running,
- and what kind of MB you using?
-
- As strange as these questions may seem they all have a bearing on the
- operation of the mount... this I have found through experience..
