Question #76880 on Ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76880
Rodney gave more information on the question: Since I submitted the last info, I have let the machine upgrade to version 9.04 which seemed to go smoothly. Now I have retried to mount the floppy with no success. Here is a copy of the latest fstab file and my subsequent attempts to mount a floppy. I am evidently still making some basic errors. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
