    > sudo mount /dev/fd0 /floppy

    Just do:
    mount /floppy

    mount is suid root, so sudo is unnecessary, and if you use 2 or more
    args, mount _completely ignores_ the fstab. Mount DOES check
    permissions, so if you want to do something nonstandard, say:

    sudo mount -t fat -o uid=42 /dev/fd0 /floppy
