Mounting Floppy

[JavaDude32]

I'm having a problem with mounting a floppy drive, I've tried both fstab and mtab. I get an error message about a bad mount point. I tried adding the line:
/dev/fd0 /floppy ext2 rw 0 0 to mtab and
/dev/fd0 /floppy ext2 defaults 0 0 to fstab

If anyone could help me with this problem please? BTW I'm running Debian GNU Linux 2.3 and I'm using the bash shell.

Thanks in advance for any help.

does /floppy exist? did you try to mount it manually? (mount /dev/fd0 -t ext2 /floppy)
btw. don't edit mtab, fstab is enought ;-)

how about..
mount /mnt/floppy or
mount /dev/fd0

Well mount /dev/fd0 floppy worked on the topmost directory, thanks for that. But does anyone know the entry for the fstab file so that it can be mounted on boot, therefor I don't have to log on as root to mount it all the time?
I have:
/dev/fd0 ../floppy ext2 defaults 0 0
and it tells me it's a bad fs type and error in superblock 02:00 I looked at the man pages on fs and it says that ext2 is a Linux type filesystem, my floppy (the boot floppy is in the drive) should be that right? or is the above line wrong? Thanks in advance for any help.
