I am not able to mount a floppy using the mount option for
the floppy drive in the Computer folder on the Gnome desktop.
Selecting the open option, gives the following error: "Unable to mount
location, Can't mount file". I do not get any selinux errors.
/dev/fd0 is created when the computer boots.
However, if I add the following entry to /etc/fstab for the
floppy, I can mount, access, or umount the floppy from a terminal:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user 0 0
You can fire up a terminal and do
$ gnome-mount -d /dev/fd0
or /dev/fdX where X is 0,1,2,... depending on how many floppies are in your computer.
Many computers nowadays do not come with floppies, but if yours has one, you can use gnome-mount to mount it and the entry will be created in /media/disk usually.

Antonio, thank you for the quick reply. Using your suggestion does
work. In addition, after using it one time, I am now able to mount the
floppy drive from the floppy icon in the Computer folder.
