Well, The file system on the device is fat32! And it works just fine on

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,

Is it possible that what is wrong is the too many mounted file systems?


Doubtful. It should be sda1 not sda.



Not nesseserry sda1.
I have several zip disks that is formated fat32, most of them is mounted
on sda4, but two of the disks is mounted on sda1, all is fat32. Dont ask
me why.....
Another thing is the entry in /etc/fstab. I need full control as user
(since I'm the only one on this machine) so my entry in fstab is :
/dev/sda4	/media/zipdos	vfat
noauto,rw,credentials=/home/ernst/.smb_passwd,uid=ernst,gid=ernst,sync,mode=0777

That works fine on both sda1 and 4.


Yes my point is that it won't be simply sda. This is the first SCSI whole disk.
Your minor number will greater than zero (ie. (8,1),(8,2),etc...). Then sdb
will be (8,16) as the whole disk followed by (8,17) or sdb1, etc... until
(8,32) which is sdc followed by (8,33) which is sdc1 and so on.
