Depends on which dist (stable/unstable). In stable you can edit the /etc/login.defs
file and turn on CONSOLE_GROUPS, and add floppy as one of them. This makes any user
logging into the console able to use the floppy.
In potato, you must edit the /etc/pam.d/login file and edit configure the pam_groups.so
module.
