I have tried the following in my fstab file:

/dev/fd0   /mnt/floppy  ext3    users,ro  0 0

and

/dev/floppy  /mnt/floppy ext3   users,ro  0 0

Of course, it has the proper spacing in the actual file. I keep 
getting the message that it is not a block device. Can someone please 
tell me what I am doing wrong?

Hi Kathy,

u do not like read manuals, don't u ?

In both of lines u have mistakes in flag "user" :-(
/dev/floppy is not dev special, but directory, therefore the error :-)
really u like to use ext3 FS on floppy ? (M$ floppy uses vfat)
let's try this:

/dev/fd0  /mnt/floppy  auto  user,noauto 0 0

it should mout floppy with any FS on it
in case u like to have it read only (probably not), add "ro" flag
noro
