help with this error message

I am trying to mount my floppy drive, and I get the following error message: "/dev/fd0 has wrong major or minor number" What does this mean, and how can I fix it? Thanks

I believe the floppy is the wrong type of format. Perhaps it is looking for a type vfat and you put in a type ext2 or visa-versa. Look in /etc/fstab and make sure the type for /dev/fd0 is set to auto
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto sync,nosuid,noauto,user,nodev,unhide 0 0
Here's what it might look like. If you have supermount then ignore this post.

Someone has also given you some advise in your other post of the same question in Hardware.

I just remembered I used to get this with my cdrom all the time. I thought it was broke but it turned out I had switched during one of my kernel updates from using ide-scsi to just plain old ide on my cdrom and the symlink /dev/cdrom was still pointing to /dev/sda or something like that and I chaged it to /dev/hdc and fixed the problem.
