Wierd mount problem

I just installed 2.2.pre9 on a new computer. The system is multiboot
between win98 (just for games), Be and Linux on a 17gb IDE drive. The
partition table is:
/dev/hda1 * 1 638 5124703+ b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda2 639 834 1574370 eb Unknown # 'BE' backwards !
/dev/hda3 835 2100 10169145 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 835 1000 1333363+ 83 Linux native
/dev/hda6 1001 1017 136521 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda7 1018 1272 2048256 83 Linux native
/dev/hda8 1273 2100 6650878+ b Win95 FAT32

I am able to mount /dev/hda1 fine, but I cannot mount /dev/hda8. The
command I used is mount -t vfat /dev/hda8 /mnt/dosd. The error is

[MS-DOS FS Rel. 12,FAT 16,check=n,conv=b,uid=0,gid=0,umask=022]
[me=0x5c,cs=14245,#f=48,fs=35184,fl=861784,ds=45922800,de=43488,data=4592557
2,se=49706,ts=343733817,ls=39915,rc=0,fc=4294967295]
Transaction block size = 512
VFS: Can't find a valid MSDOS filesystem on dev 03:08.
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda8,
or too many mounted file systems

I'm not sure how to read the above, message. But is it trying to mount it
as FAT 16 ?, the partition is VFAT and 6gb.

Thanx
