mounting problems on RH linux (fd0)
Hi, I seem to be haveing dificulties mounting my floppy drive. I am trying to set up my ethernet adapter to work in redhat linux. I have a driver disk that came with the ethernet card. In that floppy disk is a linux directory, so I opened the linux directory and found two files, tulip.c and readme
I hopened the read me and there was instructions for seting up my ethernet card.
So I then booted to linux egar to try it out. So I inserted the floppy and:
mount /dev/fd0
I have a book , Teach yourself linux in 24 hours, and in that book was instructions for accessing a floppy drive, it says I am suposed to mount it, then i can use the floppy. So I issued the above command and viola:
VFS: Can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev 02:00
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad super block on /dev/fd0, or too many mounted file systems
So i went to google and did a web search, I found this
http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue65/tag/27.html
Someone obviously had the same error I have and did a post about it, I read it over but it does not seem to have a answer for my question.
As an atatchment I am atatching the readme on my driver disk for the ethernet card, incase anyone needs more information.
I am woundering if somebody may know the reason why I cannot mount my floppy drive.
I need to copy the tulip.c from my floppy disk to /usr/src/linux/drivers/net so that I can compile tulip.c.
Any sugestions?

which is of good, and more of the mere knowledge which is of evil. But must I know what must not come, for I shale become those of knowledgedome. Peace~
