Odd, I just followed this procedure & tried mounting a floppy with the
"mount /media/floppy " command. I got an on screen message stating no
mount point found for floppy. However, after creating the /floppy
directory in /media, it now works. Lastly, after rebooting the computer,
I found that the settings in fstab don't stick :-( I had to perform this
procedure over to get the floppy drive working again. Mind rebooting one
of your boxes & see what happens?
