From text-mode, you are okay that user have to create a dir to mount
his /dev/fd0, 'cause there is no graphical way :
Have a look at this :
[ i am within TEST-MODE only ! ]
[root@ws044 ~]# gnome-mount -d /dev/fd0
gnome-mount 0.4
X display not available - using text-based operation.
Mounted /dev/fd0 at "/media/floppy"
[root@ws044 ~]# gnome-umount -d /dev/fd0
gnome-mount 0.4
X display not available - using text-based operation.
Unmounted /dev/fd0.
[root@ws044 ~]#
[root@ws044 ~]# mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
mount: mount point /media/floppy does not exist
[root@ws044 ~]#
So it seems that gnome-mount cant work because there is no graphical
mode (of course !) but mounted works succefully .
In this condition, that great :)

Of course the possibility/necessity is to create a /media/floppy, or
even /mnt/floppy. BUT within fc4 it was auto created during installation.
There is no /media/floppy because 'gnome-mount/gnome-umount' creates
and deletes these mount points and if you happen to have
/media/floppy, regardless if currently in use or not, then it will
be _not_ reused and /media/floppy-1, and if the last one is stuck
for whatever reason then /media/floppy-2 will show up and so on.
I do not like very much that design as, among other things, it is
obviously lacking in robustnes. If anything goes wrong you are
ending up with a mess in /media/ which only root can clean up even
if non-root processes were responsible for it. This is the next
thing which requires "special handling" if you try to have /
read-only. Old user habits and lessons learned were not taken in a
consideration too. Moreover you have to substitute your best guess
for a documentation. But at the moment things are like they are.
