The responses to this seem to be doing a lot of guessing. My fstab
contains the following line:
/dev/fd0 /mnt auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
After "mount /mnt", I do a cat /proc/mounts and get:
/dev/root / ext2 rw 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
/dev/hdb6 /usr ext2 rw 0 0
/dev/hdb3 /var ext2 rw 0 0
/dev/hdb4 /home ext2 rw 0 0
/dev/hda6 /var/spool/news ext2 rw 0 0
/dev/hda5 /var/account ext2 rw 0 0
/dev/hda3 /tmp ext2 rw 0 0
/dev/hdc /cd/0 iso9660 ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
/dev/hdd /cd/1 iso9660 ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
/dev/hda1 /dos vfat rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt vfat ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
Looks like vfat to me!
