How is it mounted?

In my  /etc/fstab I have

/dev/fd0	/floppy		auto	defaults,user,noauto	0	0
/dev/fd0	/floppy		vfat	defaults,noauto,rw,user	0	0

I am not sure whether both lines are necessary and I cannot remember
the history of both lines.  I suppose the first one will be enough
maybe with a "rw" added to it.  I can mount and write to floppies as
user.

Regards.
Johann
