[wplug] Mounting SDA1

[Weber, Larry A]

I am trying to mount a compact flash reader/writer to my system.  If I use a
msdos formated compact flash card then:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/cf -t msdos
works properly.

However I would like to mount the card (msdos formated or unformated) with
the ext3 file system.
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/cf -t ext3   or   mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/cf -l -t ext3
does not work.  I get an error message saying I have the wrong fs, bad
option, bad super block.

Anyone know how to mount an sda device with a file system that is not on the
device?
