This will also allow you to type for example: mount /floppy Here is my floppy drive's entry in my fstab: /dev/fd0 /floppy msdos defaults,noauto 0 0 the noauto tells linux not to mount it automatically. If you want it to mount automatically, remove the noauto specification. Keep in mind however that you may not have a floppy disk in the drive and I don't know what happens if it tries to automatically mount a disk that's not there. ?For more info on fstab,type 'man fstab'.
