I am coming in late here but remove supermount might be the answer, so it has always been in my systems. On some it works on others it doesn't.
HTH
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,sync,exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0
that sets up automount which does work./
Neither of these suggestions work either. I # out any reference to mounting the floppy and attempted to mount manually after a reboot. Still no luck, the message is that fd0 is not a valid block device. If I look in the /dev directory, fd0 is there with me as the owner. What on earth is going on????

Off hand I don't know.
I suppose you do have /mnt/floppy directory in /mnt,
and you went rightmouse click on desktop down to create new floppy device, and then rigntmouse clicked the new desktop icon and went to properties and selected the device from the drop down menu in properties. That is what I did. having first rebooted to establish the new device first with the new fstab entries ?
