Why /floppy -- why not /mnt/fd or something?

[Peter Prohaska <reax@muc.de>]

Hi all!

Please dont flamme me for that unimportant question.  But I was wondering,
why `/dev/fd*'s are mounted at /floppy.
 When reading fsstnd, you would expect them to be mounted in
/mnt/someting.  Since /floppy is neither one of those un*x shorties nor
used during installation I can't see why it lives on the root.

just interrested,
  peter.


ps: The first thing I noticed was that no config-stuff played
