Can't mount /dev/fd0 while installing.

Hey, everyone. Trying a custom install of Slackware, using tagfiles on a floppy disc. But trying to mount it is turning out to be a pain. I use:

mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /tagfiles (created that directory)

It returns:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on dev/fd0, or too many mounted file systems

The floppy is just fine in my Windows machine, so I really don't know what I'm doing wrong here. Trying to install as we speak, so if anyone has any ideas, don't be shy!

Look at the floppy disk devices in /dev/fd*
You could use one of the devices that matches the size. For a normal double-sided HD floppy disk, 1440kb, your mount command should work as root.
