fstab will only do what its told if "you the operator" tell it to by using
the shortcut, by that i mean;
mount /dev/fd0
If we use;
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
for an example, fstab is ignored, so thers no need to delete any line there.
Another example (user spesific) could be an alias entered into a users
profile like;
alias flop='mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy'
Make the shell reread the file or logout and back in again and Bob's your
uncle. Simply typing flop will mount the device without help or hinderance
from fstab.
