Hi dears.I have redhat 7.3.
Written mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
in /etc/fstab file.
& Regarding line up,I'm become super user then type follow command:
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
But instead of mountion,I recieve follow message:
mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device
Please guide me until i can mount my floppy drive.
--Best regards

possible reasons
1. is the floppy drives wiring proper
2. is the disk not good
3. is floppy disk inserted in the drive

and finally try this
mount /dev/fd0 -t msdos /mnt/floppy

and tell me

In the /etc/fstab instead of:
"mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0"
try
"/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0"
