mounting the floppy
Something's wierd with mounting dos floppies under my current
installation of slink debian. It worked before I had a hard drive
crash and had to reinstall. I can read vfat hard drive partitions just
fine. mtools isn't helping, either -- it cannot open the floppy
device. I've tried mounting the floppy both as msdos and vfat
filesystems. In both cases df agrees as to the usage of the floppy,
but ls returns gibberish.
Any ideas?
TIA!

The relevant sections of /etc/fstab are:
/dev/fd0 /dos_a msdos user,noauto,exec 1 1
/dev/fd0 /fat_a vfat user,noauto,exec 1 1
/dev/fd0 /lin_a ext2 user,noauto,exec 1 1
/dev/hdc1 /dos_d vfat user,exec 1 1
/dev/hda1 /dos_c vfat user,exec 1 1
> mount /fat_a
> df
