[Discuss] Floppy with Kubuntu

[Murray Strome]

I am unable to access my floppy drive using Kubuntu.

If I place a disk into the floppy drive, nothing happens.

If I look at /media/floppy0 it says I have 0 files, 0 directories and I 
cannot write anything to it.

If I look at /etc/fstab the following entry appears twice:

/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto user,atime,noauto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0

If I do fdlist, I get the following:

NAME   TYPE  STATUS
 fd0  1440K  not mounted

If I try:  mount /media/floppy0, I get:
mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device


Any suggestions?
