SubjectRe: mount -o loop
Date
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.
