No idea if it makes any difference but I always did:
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
Yes, that's right. Checking the man page, that's the right way to
format the command. And, of course, /mnt/floppy must already exist.
My memory is that on either F13 or F14, I was unable to get my floppys
to be recognized no matter what I did and there were some existing bugs
out on such. I never saw a resolution posted and have assumed that "it
ain't going to happen"
In that case maybe you can try a CentOS 6 Live CD/DVD and see if it
can read the floppy. Maybe parts of it are old enough to still
appreciate that floppy.
Regards,
Patrick
Patrick:
Thanks for the suggestion. My solution was get all material on floppys
onto CD/DVD and put the floppy drive in the same closet as the 8-track
tape player (smile)

From FC3 to F14 my floppies were mounted automatically.
There was a while with F14 that they would not mount.
Don't know why.
With F15, I had to
[root@localhost dev]# modprobe floppy
to mount a floppy and I had to do it by hand.
