Marko:
Well, I finally got back to the task and tried what you suggested. Put the line into fstab, but mount media/floppy just gives me an error message. Thanks anyway!
Oops. I will have to take that back! Just out of curiosity I tried mounting the floppy from the regular panel icon, and it worked! It must have been that line in fstab that did it. So now the problem IS solved!
So again, thanks.
