very far out on a limb... now your machine will expect the floppy to be in
the drive every time you boot.

I would suggest changing it back, you can mount any entry (especially one
that says noauto) in fstab with just the second parameter.

mount /mnt/floppy 

would have sufficed.  Also, the filesystem type in fstab is set to ext2,
which is not what you said your floppy was -- interesting that it worked
at all.
