No, the 0,1,2,3 are inside the dir /dev/fd/
I have only /dev/fd0

[btiner at apollo ~]$ ls -l /dev/fd*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  root     13 Sep 27 06:33 /dev/fd -> /proc/self/fd
brw-rw----  1 btiner floppy 2, 0 Sep 27 06:34 /dev/fd0

[btiner at apollo ~]$ ls -l /dev/fd/
total 4
lrwx------  1 btiner btiner 64 Sep 27 12:26 0 -> /dev/pts/1
lrwx------  1 btiner btiner 64 Sep 27 12:26 1 -> /dev/pts/1
lrwx------  1 btiner btiner 64 Sep 27 12:26 2 -> /dev/pts/1
lr-x------  1 btiner btiner 64 Sep 27 12:26 3 -> /proc/3943/fd

How can i mount a 1680 formatted floppy? This Udev, from what i 
understand, handles it automatically. But that isn't what i'm seeing. 
Normally, i'd do:

mount -t vfat /dev/fd0u1680 /media/floppy1680

But i don't have a /dev/fd0u1680. This is different than my other box, 
which has core 3 (and mounts the floppy just fine).
