fd0 not a valid block device!!

[smeadows]

Hi.

I've just recently installed v3.4 Knoppix onto one of my HD partitions on my Dell Latitude D600 laptop and manage to successfully boot into it via a floppy boot disk. The problem is that when Knoppix is loaded(via the floppy) when i click on the floppy icon i get the error message 'mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device'!! Any ideas? My disk drive is removeable..??
I created my boot disk by running Knoppix from the CD on a machine with a normal floppy disk drive. I then edited the boot config on the disk to point to my hd partition hda5 as it was referencing fd0... Could that have something to do with it?

Cheers.

check your /etc/fstab is the line for dev fd0 is something like this :
/dev/fd0 /floppy vfat defaults,users,noauto,showexec,umask=022 0 0

focus on vfat.
