What  you need to do is have a look in /etc/fstab and find the line
that's to do with floppies.  In the SuSE system it's.....

/dev/fd0     /floppy           auto        noauto,user 0 0

if it says ext2 instead of auto or vfat you need to change that bit. 
In Red Hat the /dev/fd0  and /floppy bit are slightly different.

HTH ?
