Annoying problem with the floppy
Hi,
I can not mount the floppy in the PowerBook (1999).
As root, everything is fine. As user, it does not work.

However ...

> drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 1024 Aug 14 1998 Bay
where /etc/ftab says:
> /dev/hdc /mnt/Bay ext2 user,noauto,rw,suid,exec 0 0
So, the permissions are ok, fstab seems ok, but still I can not mount
the floppy. Any idea? Yes, I know /dev/hdc has the cdrom group, but
it is a bay, and changing the group every time I change the device in
the bay sounds unreasonable to me. But even that, changing both
/dev/hdc and /mnt/Bay to floppy, it still does not work.
