Re: [SLUG] Problem mounting USB Floppy

My USB floppy mounts as the last SCSI device. Some distros
auto-populate /etc/fstab.

tail /etc/fstab

My USB floppy in /etc/fstab (auto-populated?):
/dev/sdc /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

Note, it's not /dev/sdc1,sdc3, etc. This is unlike SCSI HDs
