I've been trying to mount an msdos formatted ZIP disk with mount_msdos with
the command as such:

enterprise# mount -t msdos /dev/da1a /mnt
msdos: /dev/da1a: Invalid argument

enterprise# mount_msdos /dev/da1c /mnt
mount_msdos: /dev/da1c: Invalid argument

I don't understand why it thinks the argument is invalid. Does mount_msdos
not follow normal syntax? doing a straight "mount" (ie UFS) it errors
complaining of a bad super-block, as it should. The drive light comes on
and it does attempt to do something. The _msdos version doesn't do anything.

Unfortunately I don't have a floppy on this machine to test, neither do I
have a FAT based hard drive.

OS is 3.0-current as of October 25 with CAM and SMP. AOUT format.
