OK, I'm a fool! The first time I rebooted it was fine (at least I thought it was because it worked). I just took your suggestion, rebooted, and it's gone. I noticed that there is an /etc/fstab~ file in addition to a new etc/fstab file. In the new /etc/fstab file my 'floppy' entry is gone. It's still in the backup file if that's what the ~ means. If HAL (I have no idea what that is) is managing this device and the kernel support is broken then maybe we should use a simplier entry like: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto,rw,noauto,user,sync 0 0 This entry was suggested earlier by Peter. Also, I forgot to mention in my previous post that I too had to create the /media/floppy directory.
