On Mandrake 7.2, I use the default /etc/fstab
/mnt/floppy on /mnt/floppy type supermount (rw,fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0)
$  df /mnt/floppy/
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/mnt/floppy               1423         0      1423   0% /mnt/floppy
well, then how come there are files there?:
$ /bin/ls  -l /mnt/floppy/
total 312
-rwxr-xr-x    1 jidanni  jidanni     94292 05  5  1999 command.com
-r-xr-xr-x    1 jidanni  jidanni         0 12 31  1995 drvspace.bin
-r-xr-xr-x    1 jidanni  jidanni    224150 05  5  1999 io.sys
-r-xr-xr-x    1 jidanni  jidanni         9 05  5  1999 msdos.sys
I don't it got fooled by hidden dos system files, as it occurs
on all floppies.  By the way if I try to write to the floppy, the
X window I'm in hangs, and if I take out the floppy, Linux hangs.
By the way, my floppy is now messed up.
