Now, all of a sudden it worked. I don't know why. I didn't make any 
changes to /etc/fstab. I have found that deleting files off floppies in 
this build (rh7.3 w 8.0 upgrade) is flaky.

[root-RMRJWkH6aXE at public.gmane.org chris]# rm -r /mnt/floppy/*
rm: remove regular file `/mnt/floppy/apr2004disbursejournal.xls'? y

rm: remove regular file `/mnt/floppy/spmcashflowprojection.xls'? y
[root-RMRJWkH6aXE at public.gmane.org chris]# ls -a /mnt/floppy
.  ..
[root-RMRJWkH6aXE at public.gmane.org chris]#

Anyway, thanks for the help. It was educational.
