I can reproduce the bug in 9.10 with a fresh install AMD 64bit and also on another system 32bit after upgrading from 9.04. In both cases this is with an internal 3.5in 1.44 floppy formatted MS-DOS

One can mount the floppy by using the command:
sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 -o umask=000

I also tried changing the floppy line in /etc/fstab to:
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 vfat defaults,users,noauto,umask=000 0 2
and it was no help. This is the same as for a working 9.04 system
