Had the directory, but tried the mount from the console with your parameters and it worked. The fstab entry I copied from my laptop is /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,usr,sync 0 0=20 which does not work. What should this be then if it works with your mount command from the console?

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.

/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,usr,sync 0 0 The above should work if it is in your /etc/fstab, especially if the mount command by hand works. I assume the =20 is not in your fstab. I'm also assuming that the zero in fd0 is not a letter O, but your line below has them as zeros. On 29 Apr 2002 at 8:47, Art Fore wrote:
