The floppy drive?
did you try to mount it manually like:
su root
mkdir /mnt/jumpdrive
mount /dev/sba /jumpdrive
?
I usually do this before putting it in fstab. I don't expect redhat to do
any of this stuff automatically yet, unfortunately. It seems not to be a
focus ;(

If it's a kernel issue, then it's a kernel issue, but that doesn't affect
nautilus. Amusingly enough, I have some external USB hard drive that will
work in linux, but not in windows!
Nautilus will give you a drive icon (and menu items to mount/unmount it)
as soon as it is in fstab. Assuming you can mount it manually, copy the
CDROM line in fstab, and modify it to suit your needs.
