What does your /etc/fstab look like?  Is the line that defines the
/mnt/floppy specified as noauto? like:

/dev/fd0            /floppy         minix   rw,noauto,user   0       0
/dev/fd0            /dosa           msdos   rw,noauto,user   0       0

If this doesn't work we should bring this up wednesday night.
