LS120 drives are seen by the system in a manner almost identical to hard
drives. They are numbered /dev/hd? as are hard drives.
Therefore to mount one you simple execute the command:
mount -t ext2 /dev/hdd /mnt/floppy
^^^^ ^
this example assumes that you have an ext2 filesystem on the drive. If you
have a Win95 filesystem there you would specify `vfat', and also assumes
that the LS120 is the slave on your secondary IDE channel.
