Simple Explanation: You had a floppy mounted, you removed the disk without unmounting. Then when your 4am (RedHat default setting) cron jobs were running, the slocate script tried to add the entries in /mnt/floppy (or wherever) to the locate database thus causing errors since the disk wasn't unmounted properly.
