I'm not sure that automount is a good idea for laptops anyways, but the work around (and this is bad, since no Nautilus means no desktop icons, menu, etc.) was to clt-alt-f1 switch to root console and do a "killall automount"

Then everything worked

It would be better to detect if there is a floppy or maybe two and enhance the feature rebuildfstab with it ...

fdutils seem suitable to be used for that job, as dmesg | grep fd0 could not always work ...

floppycontrol -T /dev/fd0 does the job ...

PS: Its an issue in original knoppix too (not so critical as system won't be unusable; so it would be good to make a generic approach)

from a conversation with micke@imendio.com:

ok, basically what I want to do,
...
*) Remove floppy from /etc/fstab (since nautilus won't start if you don't have a floppy)
...
