When you checked for devices under /dev, did you use a command similar
to the following:

sudo ls /dev

There are always entries under /dev.  I have not used a floppy in a
while but I believe they are listed as /dev/fd*.  However another
way you can check given that it shows up as mounted under /media
is just the command "mount" which will tell you everything mounted
currently.

Hope this is what you are looking for.
