Hi,

mount /dev/fd0 does work.  I have another PC that's working fine.  Here
are the relevant lshal sections:

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_storage'
  storage.policy.desired_mount_point = 'floppy'  (string)
  storage.policy.mount_filesystem = 'auto'  (string)
  storage.policy.should_mount = true  (bool)
  block.storage_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_storage'  (string)
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_storage'  (string)
  info.capabilities = {'storage', 'block'} (string list)
  info.category = 'storage'  (string)
  storage.requires_eject = false  (bool)
  storage.hotpluggable = false  (bool)
  storage.removable = true  (bool)
  info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer'  (string)
  storage.physical_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer'  (string)
  storage.drive_type = 'floppy'  (string)
  info.product = 'PC Floppy Drive'  (string)
  info.vendor = ''  (string)
  storage.vendor = 'PC Floppy Drive'  (string)
  storage.model = ''  (string)
  storage.automount_enabled_hint = true  (bool)
  storage.media_check_enabled = false  (bool)
  storage.no_partitions_hint = true  (bool)
  storage.bus = 'platform'  (string)
  block.is_volume = false  (bool)
  block.minor = 0  (0x0)  (int)
  block.major = 2  (0x2)  (int)
  block.device = '/dev/fd0'  (string)
  linux.hotplug_type = 3  (0x3)  (int)
  linux.sysfs_path_device = '/sys/block/fd0'  (string)
  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/block/fd0'  (string)

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pnp_PNP0700'
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pnp_PNP0700'  (string)
  linux.subsystem = 'pnp'  (string)
  linux.hotplug_type = 1  (0x1)  (int)
  info.product = 'PC standard floppy disk controller'  (string)
  pnp.description = 'PC standard floppy disk controller'  (string)
  pnp.id = 'PNP0700'  (string)
  info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer'  (string)

  linux.sysfs_path_device = '/sys/devices/pnp0/00:06'  (string)

Hope that helps
