My PC has a floppy drive which I seldom use. When I boot linux, it runs
/etc/init.d/checkfs.sh which runs fsck.fat on the floppy drive
/dev/fd0. The fsck fails because there is no floppy in the drive and
booting halts. The error message is: open: No such device or address fsck.fat
4.1 (2017-01-24).
The error message is also wrong since there is such a device, /dev/fd0,
but it has no media (disk) in it. Following this error message are
messages that fsck failed and that I can type C-d to continue booting.
Linux should not try to run fsck on a floppy drive at boottime, unless
perhaps if it's booting from floppy and the boot fails. I'm booting from
my harddrive.
Here's my /etc/fstab file:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information for 80GB Maxtor.

# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
