mounting and accessing floppy

[Joseph <linux@sys-concept.com>]

I'm trying to mount and access floppy, it would seem so simple (as
instructions are everywhere) but I still have a problem and the worse is
I don't know why it is not working.

My /etc/fstab has entry:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy msdos defaults 1 2

I've tried as well:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat user,noauto  0 0

and whenever I try to mount floppy
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

I get a mess a message:
mount: wrong fs type, bad options, bad superblock on /dev/fd0

What am I doing wrong?
By the way how do I give user permission to mount floppy 
My /floppy directory has mod 777
