if that is where your device is mounted, then its not currently mounted. ;)
beyond that, you need to open a terminal, stick in a floppy, and do:
mount /media/floppy
when you are done, make sure every program that was opened and in that
path are now closed, and issue:
umount /media/floppy
if its busy when you try and umount, then use fuser to figure out whats
got it, and use 'kill' to shut down those processes. those filemanagers
will leave paths open for no real reason (except stat'ing it, or
watching for new file objects)
