This is pretty much a ``me too'', but a different message and SLS...
I recompiled my SLS 0.99p5 kernel to switch off AUTO_IRQ detection in
order to fix a problem with it not recognizing my serial card; I
haven't changed anything else.
I noticed yesterday, when I tried to mount a floppy with a patch, that
it failed. I suspected the disk, so I went to my original SLS disks
and tried sysinstall on them. Again, failure. Looking through the
script, it appears to fail in the mount.
So I tried mounting by hand. The format of the patch was, like the SLS
disks, msdos.
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /user
Buzzz! I got something like ``Error 42357: unknow error''.
Same thing if I tried mounting with type minix or efs.
For kicks, I tried mounting without specifying the ``-t'' part: it
didn't blow up, but reported ``MINIX-FS: bad magic'' or some such;
this of course is correct.
Any ideas on why I can't mount -t anymore?
Thanks.
