Even if there's nothing about floppies in /etc/fstab? Or is that something I need to configure for autofs?
As far as I can remember, yes.
now that I"m running 6.4, I haven't tried the floppy drive yet.
I'll try it on the 6.4 system that's now running on that box and see what happens.
(I have piles and stacks and drawers of 5.25 and 3.5 inch floppies with various stuff stored on 'em. I used that usb drive (and an internal 5.25 inch drive) to grab images of all of them (with dd) which I'll eventually organize and burn onto CD or DVD, so I can get rid of all the floppies.)
Exactly my goal right now.
