Mounting floppys in Nautilus?

[auh2o]

I have two floppy drives. As per fstab:

/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/fd1 /media/floppy1 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

If I want to access these in Nautilus, I have to pull up a terminal and enter

mount /dev/fd0(1)

This because the only option Nautilus gives me on right-clicking a floppy entry is "Detect Media", which does nothing except briefly search the drive. (Might this have anything to do with all the floppys I have tried being FAT and not ext4, maybe?)

What I wonder is, is there no way I can mount the floppy drives from withing Nautilus, via a script or something? I am against using the terminal in all instances where it can be avoided. (Long-time Windows user...)

Also, in Puppy Linux, you get a fd0 icon on the desktop that stays put even when a floppy is not mounted. You can use that icon both to mount and unmount. Is there a way to create a launcher like that on the Gnome desktop?

I attached a screencap of what it looks like in Nautilus with both floppy drives mounted. Both "Floppy Drive" entries don't actually do anything at all -- they're completely useless. Could I maybe remove them altogether and make the floppy0 and floppy1 entries stay even when not mounted, so I can just right-click on them and mount?

And by the way - if you were going to reply "nobody uses floppys anymore", then don't.

Just wanted to inform anybody whom it concerns that Nautilus mounting of floppys works flawlessly now after upgrading to 10.04. Must've been a Karmic bug.
