The line with floppy. /mnt/floppy is the mount point for /dev/fd0. If
you have a /dev/floppy, then use the ls -l /dev/floppy command to see
that its a link pointing to /dev/fd0. Comment out the floppy line in
your /etc/fstab file and see what happens. If it still cocks up then
remove the cdrom line too and everything should function ok, but you
will have to mount the floppy and cdrom drives manually
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy (note: make certain that you have a
directory in /mnt named floppy
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom (note: also need directory
/mnt/cdrom/)
and if you have links in /dev pointing floppy to fd0 and cdrom to hdc
then you can:
mount /dev/floppy /mnt/floppy
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
Also just compared my /etc/fstab with yours and my corresponding lines
look like this:
/mnt/floppy on /mnt/floppy type supermount (rw,fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0)
/mnt/cdrom on /mnt/cdrom type supermount
(rw,fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom)
yours look like this:
/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0
Try these first and see if the rw option makes a difference, then do the
other stuff if this does not work.
PS You do not need to reboot each time you change the /etc/fstab. Just
umount the device or the mount point, make the change and try it again.
Hope you're having as much fun as I am.
