Description voha 2004-04-29 06:10:10 UTC

When I try to mount floppy
#mount /dev/fdo /mnt/gentoo/mnt/floppy

I receive the error message

mount: fs type vfat not supported by kernel



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. #mount /dev/fdo /mnt/gentoo/mnt/floppy


Actual Results:  
mount: fs type vfat not supported by kernel

Expected Results:  
mount the VFAT formatted floppy drive at the specified folder

This prevents loading already saved configuration files from the floppy or the
vfat partition on the hard drive. Strangely enough, NTFS support works like a charm.
