the floppy device is usually 'fd0' do
	]$ dmesg | grep floppy

it should output something like this:
	fd0: SWIM3 floppy controller

'fd0' is the important part. If your computer output something
different, write down whats before the ':' Next, do as root:
	]$ ln -s /dev/fd0 /dev/floppy; mkdir /mnt/floppy

if not already done, edit /etc/fstab and add a line for the floppy:
/dev/floppy     /mnt/floppy     auto     defaults,noauto,users,rw 1 0
