Re: [LI] The floppy drive now

Hi Pankuj,
This error message appears as ur /etc/fstab entry suggests the default
filesystem of ur /dev/fd0 is ext2 and the floppy u want to read don't have
ext2 filesystem (probably it is vfat/fat). If u normally use dos formatted
floppy, then change the /etc/fstab entry or use Linuxconfig to do the same.
