Files from the CD??™s root directory will be displayed.
Floppy disk??”If you want to mount a floppy in the Linux ext3 file system format (ext3),
or in some cases a format that can be autodetected, mount that floppy disk by inserting it
in your floppy drive and typing one of the following:
# mount /media/floppy*
# mount /mnt/floppy
The file system type (ext3), device (/dev/fd0), and mount options are filled in from
the /etc/fstab file. You should be able to change to the floppy disk directory (cd
/mnt/floppy or cd /media/floppy*) and list the contents of the floppy??™s top
directory (ls).
In both of the these cases, you could give the device name (which is something like
/dev/cdrom or /dev/fd0) instead of the mount point directory to get the same results.
Of course, it is possible that you may get floppy disks you want to use that are in different formats.
Someone may give you a floppy containing files from an older Microsoft operating system (in MSDOS
format). Or you may get a file from another UNIX system. In those cases, you can fill in your
own options instead of relying on options from the /etc/fstab file. In some cases, Linux autodetects
that the floppy disk contains an MS-DOS (or Windows vfat) file system and mounts it properly
without additional arguments.
