FC3 and zip disks

When I upgraded from FC2 to FC3, my zip disk would not work. I would get
this message:

mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified

Here is the fix:

In /etc/fstab change the line:

/dev/hdd                /media/floppy           auto
pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

To this:

/dev/hdd4                /media/floppy           auto
pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

The "hdd" needs to be changed to "hdd4"

Hope this helps.
