You have to create the mount point directory first ( sudo mkdir /media/floppy0 ) giving full write/read access to the plugdev group (" sudo chgrp plugdev /media/floppy0 " and " sudo chmod g +rwx /media/floppy0 ") for the mount command to work correctly.

I also confirm this bug, adding that on my floppy drive I have the activity led always on.
