Does anyone know if they have changed anything in linux with mounting disks?
I just installed RedHat 6.0, and I had been using Caldera OpenLinux 1.3.  My
Line in /etc/fstab was something like:
/dev/fd0        /mnt/floppy        auto        user,noauto,defaults    0 0
This worked fine in Caldera, but is giving me nothing but headaches in
RedHat.
Also, I used
/dev/hdd4        /mnt/ziplin        ext2        user,noauto,defaults    0 0
/dev/hdd4        /mnt/zipdos      ext2        user,noauto,defaults    0 0
to mount my Zip drive, but again it doesn't work.  I would also like to add
an entry to mount hfs (Mac) disks, but I don't know what entry to put for
the file system.  Any help at all would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Ian R. Meinzen
