no, and floppy icon appeared.

yes.

I used the icon's eject, removed the floppy and put in an empty, formatted 
floppy.

mount

did not show the floppy.  I did the mount /dev/fd0
the icon appeared, but since I got an error on the mount

dev/fd0:  Invalid Arguement

I could not tell if the icon appeared before I completed rerunning mount or 
as a result of the mount.

I am now copying files to the diskette.  Further testing is needed to see 
if the auto mount is now working.  Or perhaps someone can tell me how to 
look for the automount....
