Floppy trouble: given UDI is not a mountable volume

temcat

Hi all,

how do I mount a floppy in Breezy?

* When I try to do it in Nautilus, I get error "given UDI is not a mountable volume"

* When I try to manually mount it using 'sudo mount /media/floppy0', mount answers 'You must specify filesystem type' (the same with '-t auto')

* When I try to manually mount it using 'sudo mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0', I get '/dev/fd0 is not a valid block device'

The disk is readable in Windows XP, written in Linux (!). The floppy is in the drive.

`cat /etc/fstab | grep floppy' gives the following:

/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0

What gives?
