A line from /etc/fstab

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

This line is probably already in your /etc/fstab. You should also be a
member of group "floppy".

My /etc/filesysytems

  vfat
  minix

This tells mount what filesystems to check for when mounting a device
when the filesystem in /etc/fstab is "auto".
