I am currently having difficulties in mounting the LS-120 (SuperDisk) Drive.

I am using Red Hat Linux 6.0. The systems freeze (few seconds) when I
attempted to mount the drive using "Linuxconf" under GNOME environment. The
error message is "command too long" (something like that).

Can anyone give me any ideas?

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.
