This could be your problem right here, (abv). It's not supposed to be
ef-dee-oh, but rather ef-dee-zero. In the /etc/fstab file, you could find it
under the name, "fd0", "floppy", "floppydrive", or possibly others, as well.
Personally, I prefer, "fd0", as I detest needless extra typing. Don't forget,
if you edit the fstab name entry, you'll need to do a, "mkdir /mnt/samename", to
match it before you can mount it.
