If the filesystem(s) are loaded (compiled or loadable), an lsmod should tell you: # lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted vfat 13004 0 (unused) fat 38808 0 [vfat] I would also recommend either testing a new, blank floppy to see if it will mount or testing the floppy in question on a system/drive that is known to work. You might also try an mformat on a blank floppy.
