  Is something like this: in your /etc/fstab (or where ever your
distro. keeps it's `file system table?')

/dev/fd0 /fd0 msdos user,noauto,defaults 0
0
/dev/fd0 /fd0 vfat user,noauto,defaults 0
0
/dev/fd0 /fd0 ext2 user,noauto,defaults 0
0

  If not you must say:

 mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /fd0

on your shell command to mount a DOS floppy in good ole a:
to you mount point /fd0 .
