Other Help Topics :: line in fstab is bad

Well, I 777-th almost everything (/mnt/auto/floppy, /etc/fstab, /etc/mtab), but still the mounnttool keeps telling me it can't find /dev/fd0 in /etc/fstab...

Well, the listing can also so if it's owned by root:root.

What I'd suggest is for you to boot up a plain livecd and see if it works there.

I can't boot from cd, but I booted from fd0 (poor man's install) and user dsl can mount fd0 with the mounttool.
It fails when using the system with another user logged in.

Ah, I really only use the 'dsl' user anyways... but then I don't have a floppy drive here so I can't check.

Can you just use the dsl user instead?

Yep, I can use dsl as user instead, but I like to have a username of my own. It is not that important, but I just wondered why I can't mount with the mounttool while mounting from the prompt is not a problem at all.
