Rodney gave more information on the question:
Since I submitted the last info, I have let the machine upgrade to version 9.04 which seemed to go smoothly.  Now I have retried to mount the floppy with no success.  Here is a copy of the latest fstab file and my subsequent attempts to mount a floppy.  I am evidently still making some basic errors.   Any suggestions will be appreciated.  Rodney
