Mandrake 10 makes use of the supermount kernel module. After switching
to the root user and profile you should be able to `lsmod` and see the
supermount module listed. In the mdk 10 implementation you should be
able to plug the floppy into a working usb connection, insert a floppy
into the drive and do `supermount enable`. If everything is functioning
correctly then fstab will contain an odd entry for the floppy drive.
When the device becomes active supermount will automagically mount the
file system.

Give it a try,
