Oops, my fault. I WAS root when I tried to mount the device, but I typed
a "$" prompt in my email. Anyway I edited my /etc/fstab and I am now
told:
mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device
Hmmm... does this mean that there could be something physically wrong with
the floppy drive, or the connection to the motherboard?
Well, I'll do some more tinkering...
Thanks again!
