I think a floppy mounting point is a directory, and a directory is a
directory. The one redhat put aside for mounting floppies should be no
different to other directories on your system.

If you have a dos floppy mounted, then chown and chmod won't work
too well, because userid and permissions are foreign to dos fs.
