I have tried the following in my fstab file:

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


That is one of the ways I tried. I was still getting the error message about it. Yes, I read the manuals. Everything I had tried came up with the error message.
