One way to be able to mount the floppy is to make
the fstab entry have ",user" in it. Another is (as
root) to

# chown <put your user name here> /dev/fd0

I don't suggest the latter as a regular fix, but it may reduce
your frustration levels.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
