Care to paste the appropriate entry from fstab?  The exact command you are
using to mount the drive also would be good.

Try `mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy`  It sounds like you may be trying
to mount to an invalid mount point, or possibly you are typing something
like `mount floppy` which mount won't necessarily understand.

Alexander.

fstab
/dev/fd0            /mnt/floppy            ext2    noauto, owner        0 0

Tried your suggestion and got:
mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device
My command to mount the floppy is: mount floppy (as per the APC Mag instructions)
