[wplug] cdrom ls weirdness

[Frank W. Holden Jr.]

I have seen this numerous times when the cdrom or a hard drive is 
mounted. What happens is it doesn't determine the correct filesystem. 
Normally I see it when mounting a vfat and it thinks it is ext2... This 
can happen with floppies alot...

If you are going to mount something, it is quite wise to use the option 
-t <fstype> when mounting.

Just 2 cents worth of gray matter...
