The device node needs to exist: `/dev/fd*'. It needs to be accessible by
the user and then you need to set up a translator to access the file
system on it.
Also, the ext2fs translator which Debian ships only supports file systems
with block sizes of 4096 bytes. When formatting a floppy, mke2fs by
default selects an incompatible block size of 1024 bytes, due to the
small device size.
If it's about FAT, then be warned that the current fatfs translator is
read-only.

Either set up a random translator as suggested by Massimo or do something like
``sudo cp /bin/bash /dev/random; sudo ln -s random /dev/urandom''.
