Why am I having problems of mounting a Floppy
 
FC 6 dell laptop with a installed Floppy
I can't read a floppy disk, number of different disks.
Does /etc/fstab have to have /dev/fd0 settings.

If you don't have a line in fstab, this should do:
Code:

mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
given that the floppy is formatted with FAT filesystem and that /media/floppy directory exists. If you have a working fstab line, this should do:
Code:

mount /media/floppy
given that the mountpoint is defined to be /media/floppy.

What kind of error do you get?

EDIT: an fstab line could be something like this, for example:
Code:

/dev/fd0  /media/floppy  vfat  defaults  0  0
