>Description:
On 1.6.x, this worked: mount /dev/cd0a /mnt

On 2.0, mount calls mount_ffs, which fails to mount the device, because it does not contains an FFS filesystem.

mount -t cd9600 /dev/cf0a /mnt works fine on 2.0
>How-To-Repeat:
mount /dev/cd0a /mnt

>Fix:
Not known yet. Using /sbin/mount from 1.6.2 on a 2.0 system fails. The problem is therefore probably in the libc.
