Mounting Floppy on FC14

[fuoms]

Hi All
Is it still possible to mount the floppy drive on FC14

I tried this from su:

mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ---- i get --- mount: special device /dev/fd0 does not exist
mount -t ext2 /dev/fd /mnt/floppy ---- i get --- mount: /proc/4037/fd is not a block device

Any help
THanks

The floppy module probably is not loaded. Load it this way and try your stuff again...su
modprobe floppy

Cheers! that did the trick!
Much appreciated.

Very well.

The floppy module was dropped from Fedora's init stuff several versions ago. If you need that module mounted automatically at boot time, then copy that modprobe command into /etc/rc.local.

Although I tested different options in /etc/fstab and changed owner and permissions of /mnt/floppy, still only root can mount the floppy.
Anyone any idea?
