Description:
Clean dapper flight 4 install. I actually have one floppy drive on this computer. In the Nautilus Computer view, there is nine floppy drives Floppy1..9. In /etc/fstab I have this:
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy1  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy2  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy3  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy4  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy5  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy6  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy7  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy8  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0

However there is no /dev/fd0 and putting in a floppy disk, I am not able
to open it by clicking on any of these floppy icons.

lshal says nothing about "fd" or "floppy".
