Looks to me like you destroyed the layout of the floppy disk when you were
asked to destroy it. You shouldn't be mounting a floppy disk anyway. Use the
dosread, dosdir, and doswrite commands to perform operations on the floppy
drive.

Subject: meet Problems when try to mount the floppy disk

Insert a floppy disk into the floppy disk drive.
Execute the following command in order to mount the floppy disk to a fs:
#mkfs -V jfs /dev/fd0
mkfs: destroy /dev/fd0 (yes)? y
Device /dev/fd0:
Standard empty filesystem
Size: 2880 512-byte (UBSIZE) blocks
Initial Inodes: 512
#mkdir /flo
#mount -o nointegrity /dev/fd0 /flo
mount: 0506-324 Cannot mount /dev/fd0 on /flo: There is an input or output
error. Then i attempt to read file in the floppy disk: #dosread -D /dev/fd0
readme.txt chap.txt
read: /dev/fd0: There is an input or output error.
Abort, Retry, Ignore?

Why the "mount" and "dosread" all fail ? (In Windows 2000 Server, the files
in the floppy disk could be successfully read out).
