When you say, "It should just work", does than mean a file manager 
should pop up when a floppy is inserted and a mount point created?  It 
doesn't and there are no /dev/fd? devices.  There are some entries in a 
directory called /dev/fd, which don't appear to be floppy related:

ls -l
total 4
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Jun 12 11:30 0 -> /dev/pts/4
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Jun 12 11:30 1 -> /dev/pts/4
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Jun 12 11:30 2 -> /dev/pts/4
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Jun 12 11:30 255 -> /dev/pts/4

Thanks
