Hi Jon

If you have msdos file system support compiled in as a module, run

"modprobe msdos"

before the mount command.

Or better yet, if you have vfat support, "modprobe vfat" first and then
use "-t vfat" on the mount command - that way you get windows long
file-name support rather than being limited to the old 8.3 DOS filenames.
