Thats a lot of mounts. I see your problem.
your floppy is in
/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=ext2,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0
The fs=ext2 part is the problem. It is set to read linux floppys. I think it
has to be changed to either dos, vfat or auto.
One of these will work. Im not sure which but one of them will.
/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=auto,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0
/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0
/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=dos,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0
