Wrong floppy device node path after install in fstab

[Raul Metsma]

I have installed now 3 kubuntu edgy desktops (1 under vmware and 2 real computer)
and all them have after install wrong floppy device node paths (just /dev/)

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/mapper/Ubuntu-root / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sda1

Sorry, forgot to mention that I used kubuntu 6.10 x86 alternative iso

Confirmed on Kubuntu and Ubuntu too.

The motherboard's model is ASSUS A7V880.

And this is the unmodified /etc/fstab after the fresh install:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda1

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I used a lot of Edgy iso-s to test this issue: ubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso, ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso, kubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso and kubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso

I can confirm this. My fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/hdb1
