I have 2 SCSI HD, one Linux with 2.2.2 kernel and another DOS. I don't
have any problem with mounting msdos fs. I didn't have any problem with
2.2.1 kernel either. Msdos mounted in sturtup.
My /etc/fstab:

# device directory type options freq pass
# -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
/dev/sdb1 / ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/sdb2 none swap defaults 0 2
/dev/sdb3 /home/users ext2 defaults 0 2
none /proc proc defaults 0 2
/dev/sda1 /dos/drive_C msdos defaults 0 2
/dev/sda5 /dos/drive_D msdos defaults 0 2
/dev/sda6 /dos/drive_E msdos defaults 0 2

Take a look at your /usr/src/linux/.config file. You probably didn't
enable msdos fs support:

CONFIG_MSDOS_FS=y

K.V.P
