Since FC5 the way that removable media is handled has been changed, and the
floppy drive has lost out.
This is what I did on FC5, and presume will work ok on FC6.
As root on the CLI.
mkdir /media/floppy
Then with the aid of a text editor, add a line to /etc/fstab.
I used the line from my FC2 install, and it works ok. See below.
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
Hope this works for you. It did for me on FC5.
Nigel.
