Floppy will not mount on SUSE

I have installed SUSE 10 on a laptop that has a swappable CDROM/Floppy drive. When I was installing the OS my CDROM was connected. Later I tried to swap it with the Floppy and mount it but no success. Here is what I get:

dell:/dev # mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
/dev/fd0: Invalid argument

mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
/dev/fd0: Invalid argument
mount: /dev/fd0: can't read superblock

/etc/fstab doesn't have an entry for floppy. It almost looks like it doesn't see the hardware however when I run YaST hardware info it finds floppy disk controller OK. How can I fix this?

PS. I tried to reboot - same result
