Make sure you have a directory, (/media/floppy is where SuSE 7.3 puts it). Insert a readable floppy. Then as root: mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /media/floppy If this works, then there is a problem with your fstab entry which can be easily corrected. If it does not work, the error message should possibly point you to the problem. On 27 Apr 2002 at 10:19, Art Fore wrote:
When I click the floppy icon on the desktop, I get an error that /dev/floppy not found in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab. If I try to mount through contol center, block devices, by right-clicking on the fd0 entry, get fd0 invalid block device. Entry was not in /etc/fstab so I added it, copying from other computer. Still no results. This worked without a problem in 7.3 and floppy works in Windows and works on laptop. Have any ideas on this?
