How do I find what my floppy drive is called? I thought it would be
called /dev/fd0, but /dev/fd0 doesn't exist, and I'm at a loss on how to
address it...

I usually just look around in there and find it. I use udev, I assume
you do to, and this is what I get:

No /dev/floppy!!!
Does dmesg indicate the kernel is finding a floppy drive? Did you
configure your kernel with floppy support?

Check for /dev/floppy/0 (note: floppy is a folder)
If neither /dev/fd0 or /dev/floppy/0 exist then verify the drive is valid via
bios setup.

I should have thought of the new to Linux factor. /dev/floppy is only a
link to /dev/floppy/0. Just like /dev/mouse is a link to
/dev/input/mouse0 for me.

Look in dmesg for something like this:
Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077
That is what mine looks like and it should be something similiar to
that. My floppy was made before 1991. I didn't know it was that old.
