here's the result:
debian:~# e2fsck /dev/fd0
e2fsck 1.18, 11-Nov-1999 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
Couldn't find ext2 superblock, trying backup blocks...
e2fsck: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/fd0
Could this be a zero-length partition?
debian:~# dd if=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1 | od -c
