Does anyone know how to mount hard drives using pocket linux.  I am
trying to mount a Microsoft formatted hard drive, but everytime I try it
gives me the error message:
 
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k vfat, errno = 2
mount: fs type vfat not supported by kernel
 
I looked in the /dev directory only to find that there are no hda and
hda1 nodes.  Even if I create them, I still get this error message.  Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Dave Henderson
