Re: IBM R40e: external USB floppy does not work
Floppy disks aren't partitioned....are they? Surely that's why fdisk
prints rubbish.
Try
mount -t ext3 /dev/sda /mnt/usbdisk1
(drop the '1' off /dev/sda1)
but replace ext3 if necessary with the type. vfat is more common if you
are using 'Windows' floppies.
