Hi,
when I connected Ext USB Floppy I got error msg " Can't find /dev/sda in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab". What I should type in /etc/fstab ? Using Suse Linux 10. Thanks in advance for any help.

I just plug in the floppy and get it on my desktop as floppy icon, but when I try open then coming error msg. I tryed also this to: mount /dev/sda /mnt/external -t vfat, no luck
