In this case, one could use different fd devices for each type of filseystem. I
use /dev/fd0 for ext2 and /dev/fd0H1440 for vfat floppies (just to avoid
misusing).
Thanks Coplan, I could get those DOS stuff mounted OK. I haven't figured out
that asmounter referenced by mount point and not by device. Maybe this could
be clearer in future versions of documentation.
