Well, I guess you don't need to make a nod anyway. I though it would 
show up as /dev/fdhd0.
But apparently it already exists as /dev/fd0. When I enter the floppy I 
get this message:

SWIM_IOP: unit 0 changed

And (BTW I'm using 2.2.23) it ejects the floppy consistently with 
<<eject /floppy>>

When I try to mount the floppy I get the following (using mount -t hfs 
/dev/fd0 /floppy)

end_request: I/O error. dev0-2:00 (floppy), sector 0
hfs_fs: unable to read block 0x00000000 from dev 02:00
hfs_fs: Unable to read superblock

This same message is repeated.And then I see

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0
       or too many mounted filesystems


When I enter a DOS floppy, I get this difference in the message in the 
middle line:

FAT bread failed

Well, at least a 68k mac can eject a floppy
