What have I overlooked?

As root, I tried:

cd /dev; /sbin/MAKEDEV fd

and it comes up with a "don't have permission" error

Then I tried:

modprobe floppy

and still no floppy devices.

I am using the 7 CD box set of Mandrake 9.0

I am trying to configure the Internet services before connecting the machine 
to Internet and was attempting to use the floppy for transferring 
configuration files from another Mandrake machine (8.1)
