Can't get my floppy to mount

[woodwizzle]

I can't get my floppy drive to mount. This is what I have in my fstab: /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto rw,exec,noauto,users 0 0
I dunno what could be wrong. I know the hardware works too.

With just that much info, all I can say is, make sure your kernel sees the floppy drive (i.e. /dev/fd0 exists) and that the mount point exists (/mnt/floppy).

If you give us an error message, we can be of more assistance.

The mount point does exist. Floppy support is in my kernel as a module. I did an lsmod before mounting and the floppy module is loaded bun not used. When I run mount /mnt/floppy the command gives no response for a unusually long time, then I get a "/dev/fd0: Invalid argument" and then "mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write protected, mounting read only" followed by another unusually long wait and another "/dev/fd0: Invalid argument " and then finally a "mount: you must specify the filesystem type"

how is your fstab setup for your floppy? are you mounting as root or as a normal user?

the fstab for my floppy is in my first post. I get the same results if I try to mount as root or as a user
