Floppy read-only after RH7.2 -> RH7.3 upgrade



I just upgraded from RH7.2 to 7.3 and was unable to create a boot
disk on the floppy drive.  To check the floppy itself, I tried to 
mount it and found that it now mounts read-only every time.  (I 
get the message:

mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-
only

when I try to mount it.)  And, no, it has nothing to do with the 
write-protect tab on the floppy.  I also checked the drive itself
by booting up on a Win98 DOS disk and deleting one of the files.
Worked fine, so not read-only.  

The fstab info is:

/dev/fd0	/mnt/floppy	  auto	noauto,owner,kudzu	0 0

That seemed to work fine under RH7.2.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
