It's not showing up under "/media" ? If it's a FAT32 floppy, you
should be able to access it with the various tools in the "mtools"
package, which are much, much, much faster than read/write operations
on a mounted floppy.

If none of those are working, come back we can talk to you about
adding user authorization for /etc/fstab mountpoints, or even using
autofs.
