I'm getting my ass kicked by mkboot disk: (RedHAt 7.1)

1. I format the floppy with "fdformat /dev/fd0H1440" and that works fine
2. then I create a filesystem with "mkfs -t ext2 -m 0 /dev/fd0H1440 1440"

THEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNN when I try mkbootdisk --device /dev/fd0 2.4.2-2

AND I KEEP GETTING - mount: fs type msdos not supported by kernel AND mount: fs type vfat not supported by kernel

What in the f**k am I doing wrong? Linux is better than Windows my ass.

Johnny,

You don't need to format the disk nor create a filesystem. Mkbootdisk will do it for you.

Just run the program and see how that goes for you.
