Comment 347 for bug 441835

I believe I solved my problem...

I noticed that my /etc/fstab file no longer had the "user" parameter for fd0.

I added that back...
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

(As a side note, I had installed mountmanager, which overwrote my fstab file, so be careful if you use that program!)

Now @maeru's solution works for me as well.

However I am forced through a clunky 4 step process...

1. Click on the "Floppy" icon in Places | Computer
2. Receive error "Unable to mount location. No media in drive." even though a floppy is inserted.
    Despite this error, the "Floppy" icon will change to "Floppy Drive: Floppy Disk" in Nautilus.
3. Click on this new icon.
    A new "floppy0" icon will appear in Nautilus. The "Floppy Drive: Floppy Disk" will revert back to the original "Floppy" icon.
4. Click on the new "floppy0" icon to access the diskette.

I'm happy to have it working, but the user flow needs to be improved. Does any one else have this issue with multiple steps, or does your floppy mount immediately?
