Make sure the /mnt/floppy directory exists. If it's not there, create it.

Make sure it says /mnt/floppy in fstab (with two slashes starting at root).
Your line 2 above agrees with the error message you have stated. You didn't
have a leading / on your /mnt/floppy argument.

See if this line does the trick:

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto auto,user 0 0

Look through the mailing list archives from about two weeks ago. I just went
over this same scenario for mounting a cd.
