on my mandrake it looks like this:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto
sync,user,noauto,nosuid,nodev,unhide 0 0
on my old red had 5.2 and before it was like this:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy msdos defaults 0 0
you can make the floppy ext2 but the only time i use the floppy drive is for
sharing file with non-connected, non-linux people.
anyway add one of these lines to your fstab and it should work
if it does not try changing fd0 to fd1 or something like that.
good luck
