Its that darn "supermount" thing again.
Yep, I have the same woes. I do hope someone posts
a fix for you. I will be watching replies to your
message. Unfortunately, I too am newbie like
you and need to have gurus post the fix.

Subject: [newbie] Problem with Floppy Drive
Everytime I try to use fd0 I get the following:
Could nor enter directory /mnt/floppy
Below is the msg I get when I try to go through the console as both user and
root:
bash: cd: /mnt/floppy: Input/output error
Below is my etc/fstab. Is there anything in there that is preventing me from
accessing fd0? This also happens as root.
/dev/hdb1 / ext2 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/DOS_hda1 vfat user,exec,conv=binary 0 0
/dev/hda10 /mnt/DOS_hda10 vfat user,exec,conv=binary 0 0
/dev/hda11 /mnt/DOS_hda11 vfat user,exec,conv=binary 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/DOS_hda5 vfat user,exec,conv=binary 0 0
/dev/hda6 /mnt/DOS_hda6 vfat user,exec,conv=binary 0 0
/dev/hda7 /mnt/DOS_hda7 vfat user,exec,conv=binary 0 0
/dev/hda8 /mnt/DOS_hda8 vfat user,exec,conv=binary 0 0
/dev/hda9 /mnt/DOS_hda9 vfat user,exec,conv=binary 0 0
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0
/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=ext2,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0
FWIW, this only happens in Linux. Floppy is 100% accessable in Windows.
