The following appeared with the latest bk updated kernel. It was not
present with the 2.5.33 version, nor with a 2.4 kernel version.
I cannot dd to the floppy until either it has been mounted, or until the
superuser has dd'd to the floppy. The following is from a fresh boot:
[tmolina@dad testfloppystable]$ ls
floppy floppyimage
[tmolina@dad testfloppystable]$ ls -l /dev/fd0
brw-rw---- 1 tmolina floppy 2, 0 Apr 11 09:25 /dev/fd0
[tmolina@dad testfloppystable]$ ls -l

>From a subsequent fresh boot I get:
