i have tried several versins .
The only way I can get the floppy to mount/umount
in rw mode is to have the entry in /etc/fstab as outlined
below without "noauto" .
and insert the floppy just after the boot starts.
that way the floppy is mounted as rw .
and I can umount and use "mount -a" to mount

it gets to the mount from /etc/fstab it also
mounts the floppy correctly ! STRANGE !
If I do NO
