Re: xfs fails as / with Debian GNU/Linux 2.4.18-smp - 2nd post

I've had a similar problem with floppies when I have the fstab set to 
mount type=auto.  It happens when I have a floppy with an ms-dos 
filesystem that then gets formatted with ext2.  Apparently auto sees 
enough of the ms-dos filesystem to assume incorrectly that it is 
ms-dos.  I've gotten around this by dd'ing a few sectors of /dev/zero to 
the floppy, before putting a different filesystem on in.
BTW: could you also get around your problem by putting ms-dos fs in as a 
module?
