Try making a second line like this:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/dosfloppy vfat
ro,user,noauto 0 0
Also make sure that /mnt/dosfloppy exists. Now if the floppy is a
Windoze type call 'mount /mnt/dosfloppy' and for any ext2 (as in Linux)
floppies call 'mount /mnt/floppy' and all should be good.

Basically what that error message was trying to tell you is that it was
trying to mount an ext2 floppy but was finding some other filesystem (in
this case vfat) and didn't know what to do with it.
