Hi,

Just cd to mnt and type mkdir floppy then check the permissions on
/mnt/floppy.
However it is strange that yuo don't already have that directory....

Okay, New error message. Is the permissions correct on the floppy directory?
Output below:

 

[root at server mnt]# mkdir floppy

[root at server mnt]# ls -al

total 16

drwxr-xr-x   4 root root 4096 Oct 11 17:11 .

drwxr-xr-x  22 root root 4096 Oct  9 20:55 ..

drwxr-xr-x   2 root root 4096 Oct  7 20:43 cdrom

drwxr-xr-x   2 root root 4096 Oct 11 17:11 floppy

[root at server mnt]# mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only

mount: /dev/fd0: can't read superblock
