Floppy Drive Not Mounting

Hello everyone--

I now have a slight variation of the problem.  I am taking the liberty of
bringing it up here because I believe that there is no difference in the
Linux C.L.I. between openSUSE 11.3 and Ubuntu 10.10.  If I am mistaken, then
I apologize.

Below is what I have done on the C.L.I.:

PRK at linux-PRK:/etc> sudo nano /etc/fstab

/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD400BB-60DGA0_WD-WCADK3933748-part5
swap                 swap       defaults              0 0

/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD400BB-60DGA0_WD-WCADK3933748-part1
/                    ext4       acl,user_xattr        1 1

proc                 /proc                proc       defaults              0
0
sysfs                /sys                 sysfs      noauto                0
0
debugfs              /sys/kernel/debug    debugfs    noauto                0
0
devpts               /dev/pts             devpts     mode=0620,gid=5       0
0
/dev/fd0     /media/floppy0 auto   re,user,noauto,utf8 0    0


PRK at linux-PRK:/etc> sudo mount -a
root's password:
PRK at linux-PRK:/etc> udisks --mount /dev/fd0
Mount failed: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed
with:
mount: mount point /media/floppy0 does not exist


It goes without saying that I'm quite clueless as to what I'm doing
incorrectly.
