Problem reading from floppy drive

I am running suse linux 9.2 and getting 'could not enter folder /media/floppy' when I try to open the device. fstab has the following entry:
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0
Thanks for any suggestions.

Try this in your fstab:
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,exec,sync 0 0

Then mount:

# mount /media/floppy
