Yes, well, I have to eat my hat and say that today everything is working right on every 2.0.25 system I tried here. It must be that I added or forgot a "loop" parameter when I shouldn't have last time round.

Thanks for the excellent printout of the commands required.
$ sudo mount -t msdos -o loop bdisk /mnt $ mount ... /var/tmp/bdisk on /mnt type msdos (rw,loop=/dev/loop0) $ df .. /var/tmp/bdisk 1423 767 656 54% /mnt
This on my hugely munged 2.0.25. I haven't gone back to the redhat 4.2 systems yet to retry a pure 2.0.30.
