okay tried: mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
Got the following error: "msdos:mount:Operation not supported by device"

When I do a mount /dev/fd0 /mnt floopy: The error is "/Dev/fd0 on /mnt/floppy: Incorrect Super Block" The same when specifying fd0a. Alst the /mnt/floppy directory does exist.

Any ohter ideas? Thanks

No don't think the UNIX filesystem is DOS FAT. The floppy has been formatted. Trying to access an access list I created to tftp to my external router. Just edited via notepad on my win machine.
