Re: unable to mount 2nd FAT16 partition
It is also possible that you are supplying the wrong type, just as the
error message indicates. While Win95 can be made to format and install
itself on a fat16 partition, I think it will prefer a newer type partition,
which I think linux recognizes as "vfat". Try
mount -t vfat ........
