On first attempt to login via GDM, the system scripts attempt to run 'mount /media/floppy0', causing I/O errors.

I have a feeling this is a problem with the login scripts.
This is a fresh beta2 install of 10.04 within 24 hours of release.

Booting up is fine. GDM login screen no problems. On first login though, the system tries to issue 'mount /media/floppy0' causing a whole lot of:
[ 245.418137] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[ 245.420005] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0

errors periodically. My HDD light remains constantly on during this time.
Clearly it's not possible to mount fd0, because my system does not even have a floppy drive.
This behaviour continues until I manually issue kill -9 to mount (need to issue 2 of these for it to take effect), and then once mount dies, the problem goes away.

I started this bug report using ubuntu-bugs mount, hope you don't mind. It was the only thing I could think of as I am not familiar with what packages control the scripts that invokes this mount command.

On an unrelated and less important note: On beta 2 cd, when you go to reboot system after install successfully completes, it will eject the cd before it finishes up all of its I/O operations safely, so the console will spew a whole bunch of errors about the cd drive - not important, but someone should probably fix this before release since that's the kind of thing that can scare users.

Some other detail I should note:
gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor crashes soon after login session. Apport fails to capture the bug because it's some kind of assertion bug whose capture is not supported by apport.

Commenting out /dev/fd0 in fstab before that first login will make mount die by itself after a short period of time rather than me having to kill it by hand.

Probably not a mount bug, mount's just getting called by something during login when it shouldn't be.
