The /dev/fd[0-9] block devices are created as needed when the system detects floppies. For example, when the floppy module is loaded, or when a USB floppy is plugged in. You can create a udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d to create the format specific devices. You may want to look at /lib/udev/rules.d/60-floppy.rules for an example of what to detect. This is the system rule that creates /dev/fd[0-9]. I do not have time to generate a rule right now, but if you need help, I can come up with one later...
