THis is confusing. The fstab you post should prevent the floppy
mounting at boot . I assume it does not try to mount the CD on boot.
In both cases it is the: pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed
part of the fstab line that does it. I assume that this clause being
on a different line in your post is caused buy wraparound and actually
it is on the same line.
I guess not we must ask what makes you think that the system is
trying to mount the floppy at boot time?
