Just to obtain some empirical data I have connected a usb 3.5 FDD unit
to my CentOS-6.4 workstation and inserted a previously unused 3.5
HDFD. The Nautilus system automatically opened a window on my desktop
and I was able to copy and removed files from the diskette without any
difficulty.
A peek into /media shows this:
# tree /media
/media
└── disk
1 directory, 0 files
While /etc/fstab shows me nothing that obviously relates to the fdd:
# cat /etc/fstab
#
# /etc/fstab
# Created by anaconda on Mon Sep 24 12:57:28 2012
#
# Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk'
# See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more

Mount on the other hand shows this:

(rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=500,gid=500,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,flush)
And udisks show this:
