I assume "floppyffs" is some SuSE patch to the kernel, like the the "supermount" patch which was shipped with Mandrake and allowed you to mount the device by simply accessing its' mountpoint. In that case, I guess the "floppy" in "floppyffs" doesn't refer to a floppy drive exclusively.I guess I need something like

Today, there are other alternatives. For example, on modern 2.6-based distros, you have the HAL service to notify your desktop apps about available (and newly-added) storage volumes, and newer GNOME (2.8 and higher) has the GNOME Volume Manager, which listens to HAL's notifications and automatically mounts any storage you plug in (by default, to a nice mount-point such as /media/<your-device-volume-label>).
Odd. I found that the two ports were /dev/sda and sdb. In the HW info section of YaST, it showed /dev/sda as being (somehow) the same as /dev/sga2 which is definitely not useful here (I tried it).It all depends on whether you partitioned your disk-on-key. By default, you don't (just like you don't partition floppies). And there's nothing wrong about mounting the disk device itself (sda) instead of a partition on it (sda1).
Duh, it tries to interpret your vfat filesystem as if it was a MBR structure.Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
