Sorry Scott I forgot to mention that I had tried to mount it as both
user and root with the same results.
I just tried it the way you suggested using fdformat and mke2fs and I
got a different error msg:
wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0,
or too many mounted file systems
Again I put a disk in formatted for dos and it mounted with no problems.
