"lsmod | grep floppy" - does it show the floppy module loaded? If "ls -l /dev/fd0*" does not show a series of device nodes try: "/sbin/MAKEDEV fd0" and retry the operations that are failing. If this still fails ensure that the device is enabled in the system's bios. Speaking of that, is the device seen at boot time? "dmesg | grep ^Floppy" or "grep ^Floppy /var/log/dmesg" should show fd0 and a size.
