I'm somewhat adverse to typing long lines, so I have
/dev/fd0 in
fstab in two locations, thus:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ext2
user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/vfat vfat
user,noauto 0 0
Works fine, and all I have to do to mount a Linux floppy is
type:
mount /mnt/floppy
or a Win95 floppy:
mount /mnt/vfat
(The /mnt/floppy is a carry-over from my Red Hat days.)
