Red Hat 8.0....Can't see other FAT32 drives?

Got RedHat 8.0 installed. When I installed Mandrake, I could mount my other (FAT32) hard drives. Now it says mount: can't find hda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab. What can I do?
 
What command did you give? It should be something along the lines of: mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/oldccrappyfs 😉
 
[root@jaburke icehawk]# mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/vfat
mount: mount point /mnt/vfat does not exist

This is the problem I get. In the filesystem file, it does NOT list vfat . How do I add it? I would think that RedHat 8.0 would come with an option or something.

The mount point has to exist for anything to be mounted there. The error explained this. If you want to edit the /etc/fstab to have this mounted on boot, read the man page (Im not sure what the linux /etc/fstab looks like off hand and Im too lazy to look it up right now 😉).
 
Thanks everyone, works great!

Since I already look like a complete n00b (which I am! Yay!), how do I turn up the damn volume? My Santa Cruz is really low. Their site doesn't have any linux drivers. When I boot into windows, I cause deafness in a 2 mile radius.
