My kernel works as a scsi kernel (with the adaptecc scsi card and Iomega 
100MB scsi zip drive).  When I tried to
mount /dev/sda4 /zip it told me file type vfat not supported by kernel
which I dont' get when I mount the hd or fd (fat16 and fat12).  Why?

mount -t msdos /dev/sda4 /zip worked.


I don't need to specify -t for the cdrom drive either.

So I suspect I would not have been able to mount the fat32 partition if I 
tried and something else must have gone wrong on my DOS drive.  I get the 
interrupt error messages eventually even if I boot from DOS floppy not the 
DOS hard drive, and don't mount the DOS drive.

I think I compiled vfat support as a module this time.

James, could you post my kernel, with teh warning that it supports only my 
Adaptect aic7xxx-type scsi cardbut I am willing to remake it for other 
cards.



Esxcuse typos - ridiculously slow connection.
