Here's mine:

/dev/fd0    /mnt/floppy    vfat    defaults,rw,user,noauto     0 0
 
from man fstab:

Common  for  all types of file system are the options ``noauto'' (do
not mount when "mount -a" is given, e.g.,       at boot time),
``user'' (allow a user to mount), ``owner'' (allow device owner to
mount),  and  ``_netdev''       (device  requires network to be
available).  The ``owner'' and ``_netdev'' options are Linux-specific.
 For       more details, see mount(8).
