Floppy drive not responding.

[HermanAA]

my (newly added) floppy does not show up.
Cannot mount drive ... seems to be the problem.
The floppy drive is working under WINdows.

I must be doing something wrong in the setup.

my fstab : (bulk removed)

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
# /dev/sda7
UUID=30e9fe48-0445-caa3-7ca4-df11b4f31f5b none            swap    sw

/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0


n0jn at bsw:~$ mount floppy0
mount: can't find floppy0 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
n0jn at bsw:~$ mount fd0
mount: can't find fd0 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

n0jn at bsw:~$ mount /dev/fd0
mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device
n0jn at bsw:~$ mount /media/floppy0
mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device
n0jn at bsw:~$ 

n0jn at bsw:~$ umount floppy0
umount: floppy0 is not mounted (according to mtab)
n0jn at bsw:~$ 


looking around:
