[Devil-linux-develop] problem booting the current devil with a vfat floppy

[Friedrich L. <fl...@fl...>]

Hi!

I just booted the latest cvs snapshot of devil and it would not want
to initialize the empty vfat floppy (image) in vmware. I had to reformat
the floppy (image) to ext2 to get it going.

The info printed out is:
   searching for configuration media
   VFS: Can't find ext2 filesystem on dev fd(2,0)
   Unable to identify CD-ROM format.
   Please insert Configuration Media and press the 'any-key'

First I thought that the VFS warning should be normal as I know that
the floppy is vfat, but then I tried it with a ext2 formated floppy.
I see that we now have vfat as module, but I think it does not get
loaded.

Shit, I thought mount takes care of the loading.
I'll add the support back into the kernel, since this will be the most 
common used method.
