Hello
Here is the entry for your fstab file
/dev/fd0 /floppy ext2 rw,noauto,user 0 0
Note:
You must creat the directory /floppy before trying to mount the floppy disk.
Also this will only mount a linux formatted floppy.
To mount the floppy from the command line
1. Make sure a format floppy is in drive A
2. Issue this command:
mount /dev/fd0
3. To change disk you must unmount the floppy and then remount the floopy
disk.
umount /dev/fd0
now change disks and then
mount /dev/fd0
