fstab/modules.conf and floppy drive 2003-12-11 - By Philippe

Hi,
First, thanks to all those who gave me information about the way to use
a floppy drive with a MB Asus P4T-F. After recompiling the kernel, I
loaded it as a module, and it is usable after insmod and mount it
manually.
I am looking now to finish the job.
/etc/fstab keeps being cleaned (the /dev/fd0 line), as the floppy is not
loaded as a module at boot.
I added a line in /etc/modules.conf with no success :
in fstab :
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
in modules.conf:
alias char-major-2 floppy0
Is it correct ?
It should be possible, even with floppy loaded as a module, to have a
correct fstab/mtab and a modules.conf who does the its job , no ?
I would just like to see this floppy icon on the desktop and the mouse
menu to mount/umount the floppy.
Any help appreciated ... Thanks
Philippe
